[GAZZ]

MY COMPUTER RUNS ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, WHEN I LOG ON
TO WINDOWS MY COMPUTER TRIES TO LOG ON TO MY VIRGIN NET
CONNECTION, FIRST IT SAYS OPEN PORT, THEN IT DIALS THE
NUMBER, I HAVE TRIED TO CANCEL THE CONECTION BUT IT JUST
KEEPS ON TRING TO DIAL THE CONNECTION, I HAVE TO CANCEL IT
A NUMBER OF TIMES TO CLEAR THE CONNECTION.

To correct this problem, do this:

GET UP-TO-DATE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE INSTALLED, and RUN IT and PAY
ATTENTION TO WHAT IT SAYS!!

And if it's merely spyware instead of a virus, downloading & scanning
with Ad-aware will take care of that: http://www.lavasoftusa.com
