How do I trace which program(s) is triggering the Dial-up connection to my

First make sure the computer is completely virus/malware-free:

If the machine is clean and is still trying to make a connection, you can:

1. Open Task Manager and look at the programs/processes running when the
dialup request appears.

2. Or do clean-boot troubleshooting:
