Sup,

I am not sure how this happened but I have a program called New.Net on my computer, it appears to do nothing useful, and SpyBot considers it spyware. I did the uninsall but there are 2 files left in:

C:\Program Files\NewDotNet

the .dll for the program and the uninsall file.

The directory is read-only, if I change he permissions on it to be not Read-only somehow it becomes read-only again immediately.


Has anyone encounered this problem, or something similiar?

I had kind of the same problem
only my spyware program was called Apropos

That adware program Mighty Onion gave me showed it was spyware, but it couldn't remove it.
It then asked "Do you want to allow this to be deleted after the next reboot". I didn't know what I was doing so I said yes...
When I went to look, it was no longer there, there was just a map and two small files, which I then deleted myself:)

And as Acura says, the reg edit, Yeah, but only touch that if you actually know what you are doing because lots of important stuff is in there that you do NOT want to delete :) So I suggest simply use a program like Spyware or Adware to remove it :)
