Hey guys. While I wasnt on all day Sunday, working my homework and cleaning, I decided to run a full suite of virus scans and spybot S&D. The only thing to turn up was NewDotNet, which I have 11 of. Neither of my programs was able to remove them. I need instructions on how to remove these and have my system finally turn up clean. (my sister spiked my computer with over 90 viruses and spyware/adware in less than 1 hour over 2 years ago. I am finally down to the last one.) Help me finish this beast off, plz.

Thanks guys. I did some looking around and it turns out that Wikipedia's got my back. I actually Wikipedia searched for NewDotNet and at the very end it said how to remove them. Funny enough, it was as simple as the windows Add/Remove Programs tool.... why didnt I try that sooner?
Anyway, my computer is FINALLY CLEAN! Yay! Thanks for the help though.

Word of warning : Never let your sister/family use your own computer, ever. Even if they bug you about it, because this ALWAYS happens, even if they say they won't download anything.
Spybot should of stopped any harmfull spyware. To really get rid of everything, boot into safemode - this will stop any spyware/maleware booting on startup, which is the reason you cannot remove the spyware (can't delete something that's running).
Secondly, check:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnceEx
In the Windows Registry (Start > Run > "Regedit" > Ok"), for any nasty things that you don't recognise. If you're not sure, check google (a simple .exe works fine).
Lastly, make sure you have a router. Even if you're the only person with a computer in the house, and you're directly connected to the internet. Routers can save you an incredible amount of trouble, just because they can stop a large majority of stupid trojans which rely on a windows key with your IP (your LAN IP is not the same as your GIP (Global IP), hence it screws up the connection of the trojan).
I havn't had an anti-virus program in over a year, and all I rely on is Windows Firewall, my router firewall, and common sense (a reason why letting your sister/brother/auntie/dog is a bad idea).
