Okay, maybe you need a little more info. I was freaking out ond wasn't very  detailed in my problem! Sorry!

Today insead of my usuall desktop of my son's smiling face I saw a black screen and what seemed to be an ad for anti-adware. Ironic?! Well I tried a few things and then found that I no longer had a desktop and no task bar. After a rebooting a few times I finally got back to where I was before - black screen and adware. But now I get a warning every few minutes that I am not proteced. Very annoying. Don't know what to do. My Dad talkied about dumping the whole system and starting over. Everything is backed up but I am afraid I may have this bugger on my backup too! I'm not a fan of starting over especially since I'm not really sure how to do it.

Can someone help me? Also is this the type of program that will steal stuff on my computer or is its main goal to be annoying?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Stacy

Could you Access your Add/Remove programs with all other windows closed and remove
New.net Application or New.net Domains
Restart your computer afterwards

If not found
Here are the complete removal instructions
Preferrably procedure 4 if not found in Add/Remove

You can save the Uninstaller to your desktop, close all other windows and run it
Restarting your computer afterwards

Okay, I have completed the uninstall and rebooted. No changes so far. Still a black screen with the ad for antiadware stuff. Here is my new log.

Do you need a fresh one done on HSFix?

Stacy

[guestolo]

Looks good.
You should go back a Hide Hidden Files and folders

Also ensure you clean those temp folders
You can do a disk cleanup
START>>RUN>>type in cleanmgr
Hit OK
Make sure that Temp and Temp Internet files are checked

If everything is running better

You should disable system restore---restart your computer--enable system restore
This will clear all your restore points and ensure you don't restore any nasties
Once reenabled it will create a fresh restore point
How to Disable and Re-enable System Restore feature

Once back in Windows and System Restore is reenabled

You should set up protection against future attacks

SpywareBlaster by JavaCool---will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies
Install---Check for Updates---Enable all protection
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

IE-Spyad---IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Here is a tutorial and download link
TUTORIAL==Link to Tutorial
Download link

With both, Check for updates every couple of weeks
Keep the link to IE-Spyad bookmarked so you can check for updates
SpywareBlaster, after every update just simply enable all protection

Stay safe  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
