Hi has anyone run across this problem? My default dial
up connection changes it's name, on it's own, for
example, from default connection to "old" default
connection. The setting are slightly off but the
username and phone number are the same however a new
default connection is created along with the "Old"
default. The new connection has a different phone number
and a different username, the new user name is connints
or something like that. I have up to date virus files
and engine that finds no virus' or trojans. This problem
occurs at different intervals but usually when we are
actually connected to the net. It doesn't happen every
time we connect but consistantly every day.

This different phone number - is it the same area code? Sounds like a modem
hijack.

Start by downloading LSP-Fix from <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>, and
CWShredder from <http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html>.

First, run CWShredder.

Now check for, and remove, spyware. Not a virus scan. Get HijackThis
<http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155> and Spybot S&D
<http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download>.
1) Install and run Spybot. First update it ("Search for updates"), then run a
scan ("Check for problems"). Trust Spybot, and make all recommended deletions.
2) Install and run HijackThis. Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save the
Log.
3) Have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the following
forums (and post it here):

If removal of any spyware affects your ability to access the internet (some
spyware builds itself into the network software, and its removal may damage your
network), run LSP-Fix.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
 
Right, the area code is different. I think you're on to
it, thanks for the input I'm on my way to try it. Cheers
