First eliminate any spyware.
What You Should Know About Spyware

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Go to IE tools/internet options/connection/dial up settings/advanced dial up
settings.



Make sure that disconnect when connection may no longer be required is
turned off, and that the option to disconnect if idle is turned off as well.
Later Windows versions have an option to disconnect when connection speed
drops below a certain percentage. Turn that off.



Outlook Express options can cause problems if the programme is running.



Go to Outlook Express, tools/options/connection and make sure *connect to
this account using* is not selected for each mail and news account. Make
sure there is no conflict in account settings - each account should show the
connection option of *any available*.



Next in Outlook Express go to tools/options/connection and turn off *hang
up after send/receive*.
