    I had this on my pc for ages and did not know about its problems until now.
    My computer was full of pups and viruses this last week, even McAfee virus scan was helpless and would not update.
    My old SPYBOT program corrected everything and wped NETcom3 off my computer.
    McAfee virus scan is now updating and can find no problems.
    Spybot was updated yesterday as a last resort to all my problems and found a lot more issues than McAfee.
