I recognize that file, it's NewDotNet.dll, spyware that used to get installed with Kazaa and Morphius, (might still be there, too). It was a way to redirect IP addresses to URL's that weren't legitimate URL's, (for example, you could have a URL like www.blah.frank, even though .frank is not a real root domain). It supposedly tracks your surfing habits, as well.
