Dial Up

[Eddie]

Hi,

I don,t know if I am in the correct newsgroup but here
goes anyway. Like most people I have had rouge dialers
placed on my system by unscrupulous web sites (not porm I
might add). In the past I have been able to go into the
registry and clear them out. However I have a strange
thing happening now which I cannot stop.

Whenever I start my computer it boots up as normal but
then it initiates a dial up connection using my proper
connection to my ISP. After it has loaded it just appears
to sit there doing nothing, it doesn't even open the web
brouser IE6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Eddie

Sorry, but I thought everyone in the whole world used Microsoft Windows
Update and Scandisk on a consistent basis...then updated their video drivers
at the manufacture's site?
