From the web - everything I read points to SpyWare.
One link says to uninstall 'NewDotNet' from the control panel/add remove programs utility.
If you can Google, search for "newdot dll" for more suggestions to get rid of it.
this from Error message when starting XP, NEWDOT~2.DLL - Viruses, Spyware and other Nasties.
I recognize that file, it's NewDotNet.dll, spyware that used to get installed with Kazaa and Morphius, (might still be there, too). It was a way to redirect IP addresses to URL's that weren't legitimate URL's, (for example, you could have a URL like www.blah.frank, even though .frank is not a real root domain). It supposedly tracks your surfing habits, as well.There is no limit to what a man can do . . . if he doesn't mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan)
