NETDOTNET.DLL
NewDotNet may be installed on your system with or without your knowledge. A few years ago, a company called NewDotNet decided to start selling nonstandard Toplevel Domain names. At the time, the only valid domain names were .com, .org, .edu, .gov, .mil, and .net. NewNet decided to make up it's own domain names including things like .law, .club, .tech, .xxx and so on. You could pay to register a domain name through New.Net. The catch is that nobody would see your domain unless they had the NewDotNet plugin installed on their computer. For that reason, it became important for NewNet to get their software installed on as many computers as possible. They did this in several ways. Now that many new toplevel domain names have been approved by InterNIC, this new.net functionality is even less useful.
NewDotNet is good example of what's being referred to as Foistware. Foistware is software that adds hidden components to your computer. Usually it's done without your knowledge when you install some other program that would be useful to you.
This program is has been known to be installed along with KaZAa, Earthlink, @Home (ComCast), Juno, Webshots, NetZero, AudioGalaxy, Bearshare and a host of other programs.
The DLL component is a plugin to your Internet Explorer Browser. It adds some internet functionality but nothing of real use. It's sneaky in how it gets on your system and it will also update itself without letting you know. It's unknown what new updated versions may do on your system. It has also been known to cause crashes so we recommend removing it from your system.
You can disable this DLL using WinPatrol but it's recommended you also use Add/Remove programs to remove the entire application. This DLL ties closely into the WinSock communication so if you just delete the DLL you'll screw up your system.

Nvida Wizard - NWIZ.EXE /INSTALL
NWIZ.EXE is the nVidia Wizard that installs with the drivers for recent nVidia graphics cards (starting with their 2002 models).
This program is used to save your custom video settings so they can be re-applied the next time you reboot your system. This program adds functionality we believe to be worthwhile. A few of the available features include creating up to 32 virtual desktops, creating desktops larger than your screen size, zooming, and supporting dual monitors on Desktop and Laptop systems.
For more information and to download the latest versions of these files and all NVidia drivers, visit http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp.
If you don't use any of these cool features, this file can be safely removed.
