[dafish]

Hello everyone

after googling i found this piece of information and hopefully this will help you to a certain extent.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/pokapoka79.exe-12883.html

i suggest you first kill the program in WinTaskManager then Run your anti visrus/spyware/hijackthis (post a log here) this could also possibly have entered your registry files too so get rid of it from there. if this doesnt help you let us know.

Go to add\remove programs and uninstall Newdotnet.

Download LQfix.exe from one of these.

http://www.downloads.subratam.org/LQfix.exe
http://miekiemoes.geekstogo.com/tools/LQfix.exe

Save it to your desktop.

• Double-Click LQfix.exe and click Next > Next > Install.
• Leave the default settings, if you change them, the fix will Fail!
• You need an active Internet connection, so make sure your connection is enabled.
• Now make sure the "Launch LQfix" box is checked.
• Click the Finish button, after clicking the Finish button the fix will start.
• Follow the on-screen prompts.
• Your system will reboot afterwards.
• Please be patient after the reboot, there is a script running in the background that needs to complete.

Then do a scan with HJT and post a new log, we'll get the rest of it then.
