Hi

First of all, go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Newdot software (if it is listed) - then use either/both of the following programs to get rid of the rest of that spyware:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://security.kolla.de

Manually editing the Registry isn't normally needed. If a manual edit of the Registry is needed at any time there is a small program called ERunt that will allow you to backup/restore the Registry:
