Dear all,

need help. after first scan with MS spyware, I remove the
newdot.. as it was detected as spyware.

Now, everytime my PC starts, it shows this:

********************8
Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL.
The specified module could not be found.
**********************

and my firewall (SP2) can't start. Please help.

Thanks.

Two separate issues, and both easy to fix.

Go to a command prompt and type
netsh winsock reset

and hit enter.

That and a reboot should fix the firewall.

If you have Internet security software or third-party VPN software which
works via adding a Winsock LSP, you may need to reinstall that software.

As to the other message, it is harmless but annoying. Others have said that
a fresh scan with Microsoft Antispyware finds this remnant and fixes it.
Please let us know whether this works for you?
 
did you ever find out what this newdot net is and why it
keeps coming up if so please let me no tks wendy
