Title: spyware problems
Post by: brugger on February 13, 2005, 04:58:31 pm

I ran adaware and removed a couple of spyware programs but now i get rundll errors when I start my computer. The programs i removed are wildtangent and new.net. I found the registry values that are causing the error but everytime i delete them they come back when i restart my computer. I found some removal intructions online but none of them seem to work.
C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll
C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL
These are the exact errors that i get if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it, these errors are getting really annoying

Anti-virus program and Spybot S&D worked for me when I had similar problems.

WildTangent, IIRC, is a sort of embedded Flash / 3D engine thing used for games in Winamp and web browsers.  I think they also send back usage stats, which is why it'd be picked up too.
