Whoo! Ok, partially fixed! I didn't find anything relating to newdotnet, but I was certainly infested with all sorts of adware. Deleted all the files that looked bad, and now my browsers are working! ICQ is still unable to connect, but it looks like I haven't won the war against adware yet, as my browser is being taken over by a giant banner, but this is progress!Quote:

I assumed too much again ! - if you have a network its even more important than with a pc that you keep it clear of viruses, trojans & worms -as your own network may be the source of your infection - check your other machines too :)
i just had a similar experience with surfing, i would start out ok then within 15 minutes all pc's would slowly come to a halt. i discovered that if i reset my cable modem all pc's wpould be back in business for about another 15 minutes. Called my cable supplier and the tech that came out discovered low signal at my entrance splitter. repaired connectors and replaced splitter and all is great.
That sounds like it might be a fix to the time out problem I had before. Hopefully, that's gone now, but I won't be sure until I'm surfing for a while, which I haven't had a chance to do.Quote:
