ok, i scanned and nothing showed exept the newdotnet with spybot. I asked it to fix it and it couldn't. spy sweeper checks memory right? Would spybot pick up a false positive like that? Will it always pick up that file? Oh and do you want me to delete that NDNuninstall that you had me dl?

It could be a false positive but could be a harmless registry entry somewhere. You can uninstall everything we did if you want, as far as i am concerned you are clean.

Thanks so much for your help. Looks like we got a lot done and didn't know i needed it lol. Again, thanks
. Take care and happy holidays!

Flush your restore points in ME and XP, by turning System Restore off and then back on.
This will create a fresh restore point.

To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect yourself against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:
1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft. This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer. You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser.

2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching, there are a some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.

3. In addtion to using Ad-aware consider using another free malware scanning/removal program:
MS Antispyware beta: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx
4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one. Some good free ones are:
Sygate: http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm
OutPost Personal Firewall:

5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows update.
Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:

SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking Thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. Download it here:

If you use SpywareBlaster, you can also use a customblocklist to add even more entries into IE restricted sites zone. Go to this site for the current list and how to use instructions: http://customblockinglist.cjb.net/
