Hello everybody i am new to this forum so forgive me if i have posted this in the wrong place, i have just managed to get rid of the newdotnet.com problem on my computer thanks to this forum, though i did try all the spyware that was suggested and they didnt get rid of it so i manually deleted it. anyway after all that i now have a little blue star on my task bar and also when i start up my computer a window comes up saying that i dont have genuine windows installed on my computer and gives links etc to web pages to check on the validation , my computer came with windows installed how do i get rid of this

Unfortunately, the "Windows genuine notification tool" that comes automatically as an upgrade is flawed. It reports "false positives" and Microsoft knows this. Many "corporate editions" pre-installed by Dell, Gateway, Compact, etc are coming up as "counterfeit".

You need to call the 800 number given by Microsoft and have your Serial number (Found on the outside of your case) ready. They will walk you through a manual activation. All this does depend on you having a "Legitimate" copy on your computer. Not one installed by a friend, etc.

Hya Faroshotel, welcome to PCHF.

Manuall removal of newdotnet can be very tricky, and is pretty much impossible for the average pc user I'm afraid.

But when searching the forums didn't you come across this bit?

Just uninstalling from add/remove programs, or downloading and running the installer get rid of all the files and entrys normally without problems.

To have a look if anything is left, and/or that there are other malware problems please post a log from Hijackthis. See link below in my sig.
