My compueter keeps dialling up the web without me wanting it! How is this
happening? Is it supposed to phone every time it starts?
Ive just had a 400 pound phone bill.

You've probably got a Trojan dialer installed on your system, from
visiting too many porn or warez site. Download a good spyware program
and scan your system.

Malware changes by the day, even by the hour, so you MUST

Download, install, update and run all of the following.

Ad-Aware
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/aawsepersonal.exe

Spybot search and destroy
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/spybotsd14.exe

Ewido Security Suite Trial version
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/ewidosetup.exe

Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta1)

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group so that
I can analyze it. Ignore anyone who tells you to post it elsewhere. I need
to see it not them.
