Go HERE and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page for Newnet removal.

Is this the same computer with on-going problems since 2005-11-12 when you asked for assistance but did not follow up?

Yes, but the problem was resolved or at least Spybot is not reporting any threats so it can be closed.

Sorry for not following up and THANKS for your help.

I've started a thread at GeeksToGo after 3 days with no reply from SpyBot so I had to find help somewhere else.

BTW I've started only these two Threads.

restart back to a normal windows session. let me know of any problems.

The following files were not found:
c:\WINDOWS\system\smss.exe
c:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvcd.exe

and in the %temp% folder there was a file (tmp1) which could not be deleted.

Error cannot delete tmp1: it is being used by another user or program (not the exect wording)

and I cannot find it in normal mode.

THANKS
