Help
By me Windows Defender seems to detect and to remove this adware program each night.
How about you?
Any ideas of how to get rid of it completely or suggestions with which program I may have got it?

Thank you very much. I was suspicius about Mega Sound Recorder and from the provided web-site it looks like this suspicion have something. I downloaded that - and immediately Windows Defender interfered. On the other hand I have this application installed on my other computer - there this adware NewDotNet is not detected.
This looks strange as it looks like my computer is not affected - but I suspected something might come in the future or maybe my computer was abused in a botnet.
I will now un-install Mega Sound Recorder from this computer. I have now changed my settings so that AVG will be running before Windows Defender is started.
I wondered why Windows Defender detects NewDotNet in scheduled running but unable to detect if I start Windows Defender manually.
Suspicion against Mega Sound Recorder is strengthened. It was not properly deleted running the feature for that.

Heh! I have not been bothered by that advert for some weeks. Thanks Hrothgar

What advert? Oh, you mean the signature that I never see because I have signatures turned off in my preferences.
I participate in enough web forums to have learned a long time ago that you almost always want to turn off signature displays. Even when they're not obnoxious, they're redundant, since you see the same stuff every day from the regular posters.

I have removed 'Mega Sound recorder' application from the computer. The NewDotNet is no longer detected.
