NewCrapNet is not classified as a virus (although, debatably, it should be),
and very few AV's will detect or remove it, sine it almost always is
installed with the user's (perhaps ill-informed) consent.
First thing is to use the uninstaller - and then to use every crapware
remover that you can think of!!
The uninstaller does actually work - but not completely, or terribly well,
particularly if the user has already run various crapware removers.
NewCrapNet is pernicious, deceptive, and generally unnecessary - and should
be avoided by any self-respecting PC user.
(and if the NewCrapNet monitor is watching - sue me!)
