Hi sz,
There’s a removal tool for NewDotNet here:

Have you tried a boot time scan with avast!
Have you tried running Spybot and Ad-Aware in safe mode? (Tap F8 while booting.)
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoft.de/
Have you run an anti-Trojan program?

Hi sz,
Yes trying to manually remove NewDotNet can lead to loss of the default gateway, read here: http://www.antisource.com/article.php/newdotnet
NewDotNet is foistware, that can lead to instability and slowness of your system. It is an inherent risk you run through P2P-ing.
As FwF tells you, remove it with the special removal tool.
