    Removal
    If you have the variant that installs into Program Files, open the 'NewDotNet' folder in Program Files and run the 'uninstall' program. If this folder does not exist, try opening the Control Panel and looking in the 'Add/Remove Programs' list.

    In the case of older versions where NewDotNet is not in the list, you could try installing a new version and then using the uninstall feature. Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware 6 also remove NewDotNet.

    Manual removal
    A botched manual removal can result in you losing your network connection. Be very careful.

    First you must deregister the Winsock2 Layered Service Provider installed by NewDotNet. LSPFix gives you an interface to this. You should 'remove' the NewDotNet entries and 'keep' the rest.

    Next, load regedit and open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. Delete the keys 4A2AACF3-ADF6-11D5-98A9-00E018981B9E and DD521A1D-1F98-11D4-9676-00E018981B9E. For older variants the key will be DD770A75-CE18-11D5-98D8-00E018981B9E instead.

    Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Delete the new.net value. Open HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects and remove the 4A2AACF3-ADF6-11D5-98A9-00E018981B9E key. You can also delete the new.net entry in HKLM\Software and the tldctl2 classes in HKCR to clean up if you wish.

    Reset the computer and you should be able to delete the NewDotNet folder (new variant) or the newdotnet DLL in the Windows directory (old variant).
