| 339594 | 2005-03-30 01:22:00 | Heya all, Came back to work this morning to find the boss's PC had been hijacked. I have ran adaware and Spybot and believe that I have successfully removed all f*%#ing problems. The only problem I now have is that I cannot access any site on the web. Connection : Jetstream Browser : IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.2 All other computers on the network can access the net. Anyone got any bright/intelligent/semi-intelligent/dumb suggestions to make as to what to look at next....... |

| 339598 | 2005-03-30 02:08:00 | While we are on the subject, does anyone know the origin of new.net? As I mentioned earlier in the last month or so it’s been on nearly every unit that has come in for service.... |

(http://www.new.net/) "174,661,619 New.net enabled Internet users worldwide*" "New.net Plug-in Software that installs on computers running (1) a Windows operatingsystems versions 98, 2000, or XP (or higher) and (2) a Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Internet Explorer v4.5 or higher Internet browser.

| 339601 | 2005-03-30 02:20:00 | Dont know the origins of it, but by the looks of it it was downloadable from www.download.com According to this site, it was a way to access websites with new domain name extensions. Which in fact it created havoc. And here's some more info about it www.cexx.org |
