i have a client who got hijacked by new.net. she is running win xp home sp2 on a hp pavilion. i have ran adaware and spybot and also hijack this. i have deleted everything that is associated with this spyware. my problem is now when she turns on the unit an error comes up. there is nothing on it just the little red "x". I have checked the event viewer but nothing there. any suggestions?

Go into the registry
START>RUN>regedit
FILE>EXPORT
call the file whatever (mmddyybackup.reg is good)and save it to someplace safe.
Now that your registry is backed up, make sure MY COMPUTER is highlighted in the regedit program and hit F3.
Enter in the box : new.net
Delete any entry it finds.
See if this helps.
God bless.

Turn off system restore if it is used in your os.

Download, update, and run the following.

Your Antivirus Software

Spybot:

Ad-Aware:

Stinger

This item will not update through the program. You have to download the new version.

CWshredder:

Look for the file in English CWShredder.exe

Hijack This
This program is useful in that it shows what is currently loading on startup. You must know what is good and what is bad. Once you check it and fix it is gone. So be sure. Items you are not sure of do a Google search for them.

Run Your Antivirus again

Download and install all OS updates.

I have had to boot into safe mode and run these.

Good Luck Lee

Run MSCONFIG and check for any suspicious programs loading on bootup/logon. Remember to delete the exe file as well (when confirmed it is the trojan/spyware).
