automatic dialing

[twoeels]

I don't know what I inadvertently changed, but all of a
sudden, when I close my internet connection, it wants to
open again. A little box pops up saying that it is
connecting to my server and it starts dialing the number.
How can I make it behave?

You may not have changed anything. You may have spyware or a virus on
your system. What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning
a version not earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions)
show? Also, remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to
update these programs before running them. It is best to run antivirus
and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode.
