Every time I turn on my computer it automatically starts to dial the ISP. If I click on cancel it only comes back on in about a minute or less. I have to let it dial up and go on line for a minute then disconnect so it will stop. What program is calling for it to dial up? It never did this on "98" and just started doing it when it converted to XP Professional. I have used ctrl/alternate/delete to see what program is running and nothing is running but the dial up program. HELP! TY.
 
A couple of suggestions:

Check the update settings on your antivirus software.

If you want control over when you dial up, go to Control Panel /
Internet Options / Connections / check the box "Never dial a
connection". Then you will have to connect using Start / Connect to
.... before any program can access the internet.

Also do a full virus check

And you could download, install , update, then run Adaware from

to check your system for spyware.
