I deleted 4 spyware files. Subsequently, upon any re-
start or start-up, the following Run DLL box pops up:

"C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL The specified module
could not be found"

How do I get rid of the file requesting the above file to
run? Should I get rid of it? Anybody have an idea of
what the above DLL is?

Thanks!

To answer your questions in reverse order:

Yes, it is (as the name suggests) the NewDot browser addin.
Should I get rid of it?

Yes, since it is unsolicited software on your system, and the intent is to
generate revenue for someone else. See
http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/newdot~2.dll.html and similar
entries by searching for "newdot" on Google.

See http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html BTW, I find it hilarious that
they have a caveat on that removal page saying not to link to that page
without prior permission. Right!!! <g>

One last thought. It is usually best to attempt application removal by
going through the Add&Remove Programs list in the Control Panel before
manually deleting files. Just deleting the files will lead to a situation
similar to what you now see, plus leave behind Registry entries and other
associated support files that can continue to muck up your system for a very
long time.

Gracias..the uninstall download from the newdot site
worked....at least, no more unwanted box at start -up!
I'm sure there is an insidious dll somewhere with my name
on it to exact some measure of revenge!
