Default error message

Joe,

NEWDOT
This is an intrusive parasite that does little more than cripple your browsing
and can download and run arbitrary code of NetCr$pNet's choosing on your PC
without your permission. First use Add/Remove Programs and remove New.net.
Once you have done that go to LavaSoft's site
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and get yourself a copy of the
free AdAware and run it and/or SpyBot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and
perhaps also BHO Demon and rid yourself of this odious junk and other similar
parasites that do nothing to enhance your use of your computer. See also
http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/NewDotNet.html

Some details are contained in MS KB 320162 - "Internet Explorer Stops
Responding or the Home Page Takes a Long Time to Open"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=320162) and also 302463 - "Error Message:
Iexplore Caused an Invalid Page Fault in Module Unknown with SaveNow or
New.net Installed" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=302463).

Note that in a few hours a moronic NewCr$pNet representative may post more of
their lies to this thread. My advice is to ignore them, they are interested in
nothing more than peddling their unwelcome software on unsuspecting users. If
the net community and ICANN had wanted the top level domains sold by Cr$pnet
then ICANN would have set them up accordingly but they didn't so NewCr$p
decide instead to break with internet standards and meddle with your PC and
wreck your browsing. IMO such companies and all those involved in them should
be taken to court and prosecuted for their unwelcome intrusions

Just is case you also have a new version of the CoolWebSearch parasite
you might want to download and run the CWShredder which targets that specific
parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to
fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch parasite as it
keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite see
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html.

CWShredder, merijn's removal tool, can be downloaded from either:
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Other useful tools include BHODemon
(http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted
Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.
