netpot.exe stopped working

wesley · 05-30-2008

I don't know what the application netpot.exe does but every time I boot up my computer, I get a message saying it has stopped working and must close. So far, this has only been a nuisance and the application failure doesn't seem to have any effect on my systems performance. If anyone knows what this applications does, where it came from, or why it would stop working, please don't be shy.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

thx

Netpot.exe is reported to be a trojan or part of it.
Please attach a hijackthis report to be sure. ( HijackThis Logfileauswertung )

I've tried using HijackThis before and have had little success understanding the program. If it means anything, I recently found the netpot.exe is in the file called "Windows" directly on my C Drive. Should I delete the application? If you insist, and explain what exactly it is you want me to do with HijackThis, I will create a report for you.

Thanks.

The main thing is to scan and remove. Try avast (free) and Ad-Aware 2008 (free). Both are good to go on both 32 and 64,

There you go. I hope that helps- I'm not sure how to attach a file but that will get you there..
Thanks Znod, I'll get avast. I got Ad-Aware earlier when I found out it would work for me.

Thanks again guys!

You're right, it doesn't seem to work. Will someone please tell me how to attach a file because all I did was drag and drop the text file into the box to make the link and since that doesn't work, I guess I'll need to know how to attach the text file.
