hey guys,
i installed the new edonkey v1.0, unticked all the boxes for the spyware, but the spyware junk installed itself anyway. took me a while to get rid of the junk even with repeated spybot and adaware scans. NewDotNet chose to install itself into the Winsock layer, which meant when i removed it i had no access to the net. Be careful installing the spyware it can leave one hell of a mess
if you remove newdotnet and cant access the net just copy and rename
C:\Windows\System32\mswsock.dll
to C:\Program Files\NewDotNet\newdotnet6_30.dll
it'll get you back on the net until you find a tool to rebuild the winsock layer from scratch.

thats why you should remove it via the ADD/REMOVE in your control panel FIRST, Then remove any leftovers with adaware/spybot.
