Hello All,

Does anyome know of any programs that can eradicate the little diale
bugs from your computer. I use a normal 56k dial up connection and
have been infected by a virus.

When using my internet connection and using Windows normally i
disconnects me and dials up to this other number. To get it to stop
have to delete the connection and redial my normal internet connection
The catch here is that I can still surf while connecting to the othe
number. The phone company have been notified of this!!!

I am currently running four Anti Virus programs, Norton Anti Viru
2005, Norton Personal Firewall, PestPatrol and Spybot - Search an
Destroy. My XP is also at SP2 level.

Is there anything else out there that could kill this virus? I don'
understand how it seems to have gotten through my firewall in the firs
place.
:eek

One solution is to switch to a low-cost, low-speed cable or DSL
connection, and to disconnect your current modem. In my area 128k baud
cable connections are available at the same cost as dial-up.
