".....it actually overwrites parts of the user's TCP/IP stack"
Our software does NOT overwrite the TCP/IP stack; it adds itself to the TCP/IP stack.
".....so that any time they access the internet (not just their browser), it gets pushed through the (usually fairly buggy) New.Net DLLs."
This information is false. Internet access is NOT pushed through our software. Our software recognizes when the user is trying to access a New.net domain name extension and ONLY then does it route the user through our software.
"And the fun part is, if you (or the user) uncheck the New.Net software in MSCONFIG, it doesn't just stop New.Net from working...They simply stop being able to use the internet."
I'm not sure where you thought that using MSCONFIG would stop our software from working. The RUN registry entry that you are referring to, does not affect the fucntionality of the software. That registry entry is used to update the software. Disabling this registry entry will NOT disable Internet access but it will prevent our software from updating.
"So then we have to pray that their version of New.Net has a working uninstaller,"
All of the versions of our software came with a working uninstaller. However, some uninstallers were rendered useless once a "tech support rep" started to use unconventional and unsupported methods of removing our software.
"....or we have to go through a huge manual uninstall that involves removing multiple registry keys."
There is no need to use any such manual removal procedures to remove our software. Proper removal instructions and accurate information about our software can be found at http://www.newdotnet.com.
