My pc is really slow on the internet for the past half an hour that could be something else but i dont think so coz something called New.Net keeps poppin up saying do i want it to start up when i turn my pc on. the program doesnt pop up it gets caught with my virus thingy but now it isnt tellin me do i want it to install it so i think it has fucked my pc.

Typical microsoft the "server is too busy" im gonna change to MAc
hi whoscarl. Here's a few measures that will probably remove it. if it doesn't, let me know and I can give you some more in-depth procedures. this program is spyware btw.
1. go into your ad/remove programs and check for new.net and 180searchsolutions. if either of these are in there, remove them. also, if you don't recognize any of the programs, feel free to post them here and I'll let you know if they're legit.
2. download ewido free anti-virus from www.ewido.net . this is a wide-range anti-malware program. do NOT use other anti-malware programs unless you check with an experience person first, as most on the web are spyware themselves.
3. go to www.trendmicro.com and do their free online scan
4. download winpatrol from www.winpatrol.com. this program will list all running processes in your computer and notify you if a new process has been added, asking if it's ok. once installed, you'll have a little black doggy icon in your bottom right-hand corner called "scotty the watchdog".
5. make sure you have all the latest windows security updates and service pack 2 installed. both available at www.microsoft.com
i did the 1st 1 and it unistalled but does that mean it is really unistalled could it be hiding somewhere
and btw Winpatrol was the program that found it best piece of software i have asks me if i want to change my homepage when something else is doing it without me.
another question dont no if u will no it when i turn my pc on an error message comes up from norton saying anti-virus doesnt support repair function re-install anti-virus
i no the obvious thing to do but any other advice like where did it come from
AND ANYBODY DONT BUY NORTON ANYTHING ITS SHIT NOTHING BUT HASSLE
lol, well I sort of agree with you there. the anti-virus is very weak (regardless of what the amateurs who think it's the holy grail of anti-virus say), the maintenanc programs are somewhat decent, and disk doctor just doens't seem to work for anybody. there's free anti-malware programs out there that are much better, such as ewido which I REALLY recommend you and everybody get.Quote:

the whole norton problem I'm not really sure about. obviously, yes you should try reinstalling it. once you uninstall it however, go into start/run/chkdsk /f . when it says it can't run, do you want to run it on next start up y/n , hit Y and press enter, then reboot. then after it's all done, reinstall norton (assuming you still want it).
also, 2 programs I'd recommend is zonealarm free version, which is a pretty good firewall. and if you're willing to buy a program, I'd recommend getting webroot spysweeper, which you can find in most retail electronics stores.
if you're still having trouble after all this, try the trendmicro 30 day trial anti-spyware, which is best in my opinion. plus, I can walk you through a manual registry edit (which will no doubt find other crap).
Your the most helpful person i've come across on these boards cheers for all the advice
