Don,

Dude, you've got a New.Net infection.

Looking at your Winsock as catalogued by Autoruns:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Pa rameters\Protocol_Catalog9

....

+ New.net TCP Chain New.net Domains New.net, Inc. c:\program
files\newdotnet\newdotnet6_98.dll
+ New.net TCP Filter New.net Domains New.net, Inc. c:\program
files\newdotnet\newdotnet6_98.dll
+ New.net UDP Chain New.net Domains New.net, Inc. c:\program
files\newdotnet\newdotnet6_98.dll

New.net is a rogue Internet provider that didn't want to follow standards setup
by the Internet governing bodies, so they setup their own Internet
infrastructure. To make their infrastructure work, they spread themselves
similar to spyware. Essentially, that's what they are. Spyware. And they
hijack your LSP / Winsock to make their service work.

Did you actually run ALL 6 of the LSP / Winsock repair tools that I recommended?
If so, that's bad news - it means that New.net has now developed an installation
that can't be removed as simple LSP / Winsock corruption.

You might want to Google for "New.net" or "New dot net", to get an idea how
obnoxious these fsckers are. Read if you like, and wait for my reply tomorrow.
I have a schedule constraint, so I'll be in touch sometime late tomorrow PST.

Are you posting your email address openly on Usenet? Please confirm by reply to
this email, if that's true. You might want to change that practice, if
possible.
