Ok, Glary Utilities (or perhaps MalwareBytes) removed this nengine.dll file and now whenever I boot up I get a dialog box telling me that the system can't find it. Obviously something somewhere is looking for it. How do I get rid of this pesky dialog box question at every boot up?

Hello all.
Nekem automatikusan települt a netr?l "Mobogenie" és teljesen le lassult a gépem ett?l a programtó. Uninstalláltam "Mobogenie" -t de maga után hagyta ezt a mappát "c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\local settings\application data\genienext\" De ezt is töröltem manuálisan. A rendszer ezután hiper gyors lett újra. De rendszer újra indítása után ez a kép fogadott "http://www.kephost.com/view3.php?filename=a1_2014_1_9_lywnf26lpz.jpg" és nem tudok vele mit kezdeni!!!

I had axko and this newnext. It won't let me open system restore, delete any programs with the program uninstall from control panel or any virus software. I had let my current software get out of date and now when I try to donload and virus scan, malware program, freefixer comodo, mcafee or trend micro...basically anything that could get rid of it, I can't open the file. I've tried everything I can think of short of throwing the whole thing out of the window. Any suggestions?

nengine.dll got installed in the %AppData%\newnext.me folder via a nasty piece malware calle Mobogenie which masquerades as some sort of mobile telephone service. This came packaged with some legitimate software I wanted and sneaked its way into the install process without my noticing it. After installation I discovered that the Explorer context menu Delete item was absent from the whole of my user profile directory; nor could I use the Delete Key on the keyboard to delete files. I had to open a Command prompt as Administrator and use the rmdir /s /q %AppData%\newnext.me command to remove this folder. Then I had to remove registry entries from both HKCU and HKLM which try to start the process up at Start. The same has to be done with any Mobogenie and genienext folders found under %userprofile%\appdata or program files(x86). This is definitely a piece of Malware, but I restarted and hope it is gone; the context menu items have returned in my userprofile folder and I have deleted all cookies and temporary internet files to be extra safe. So my advice - get rid of this crap as soon as possible.

Very nice program, used it to clean up a fresh windows install after deciding to try out a new program that ended up riddled with garbage like this nengine crap. Used FreeFixer to take care of all instances of the Nengine, no AdAware or MalwareBytes or anything and it worked perfect, confirmed killed upon reboot, very satisfied. Only thing that would have made this better is if it automatically killed known "threats" like this, but I understand that that's not the purpose of the program.

Thanks a lot for this program. Really help-full.
My rule about Nengine and others like Mobogenie: They might be officially signed and so on, but when a program suddenly appears on my system and I did not put it or when the program is not contributing to keep the system running, it is malware.

Thanks again,
Best regards

rename "newnext.me" directory and run mobogeni. it will create a new directory with this name. I think this is a spying program but i am not sure.

@Hans: Yes, nengine.dll seems to appear together with MobileGenie. I cannot say for sure if it's a separate piece of software or if it belongs to MobileGenie. The anti-virus programs appear to classify it as a separate program.

I have the folder "Newnextme" in AppData/Roaming. The file was detected initially by MacAfee.
I tried the path you showed with Freefixer, but I can not find in "Registry Startup" the item nengine.dll. I tried several times, but always same result. I remarked that every time I launched the scan of Freefixer, at the same MacAfee detected the file nengine.dll. What can I do? Should I desactivate MacAfee when I launch Freefixer? Is it not a risk?

@Dan: Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear FreeFixer helped you solve the problem.

@Beny: Unfortunately I don't know why nengine.dll is not showing up in your scan.

There's an alternative method to deleted files with FreeFixer, in case they don't show up in the scan result. If you have the full path to the nengine.dll file, you can go into the Tools tab in FreeFixer. Under "File Nuker", type in (or paste) the full path to nengine.dll. Then click "Delete file" and reboot your machine. During the reboot, FreeFixer will remove nengine.dll from your computer.

Did that successfully remove nengine.dll from your machine?
