SMs had WinXP Home in earlier posts. I have no idea if it's still the same.

Based on previous messages I can't figure if the connection to orcon is dial up or adsl.

351884 2005-05-04 10:28:00 Nope thats not working either, still trying to log on every five or ten secs,
J

When you say "log on" do you mean that the modem is dialling out every five - ten seconds?

Meaning to get to the Internet using a dial up modem or what?

If your modem is trying to dial out every 5 - 10 seconds to connect to the Internet then usually that may mean spyware, trojan dialler or an uncompeted Windows update.

Trying to get to the root of the peoblem.

351886 2005-05-04 22:26:00 Get rid of MS Messenger. In my experience that's been a cause of a lot of problems. Very intrusive, pushy and irritating. You can always re-install off your CD Rom for your windows OS. HTH......m mark c (247)

Win XP Home, I see someone is keeping tabs on me.

I do not think it is a Trogan or anything like it as it happened right after the kid attack. I would not know about an incompleted update.
Yes AMD1 I mean exactly that, the dial up modem keeps dialing up on it's own. If I reboot it don't happen. If I go on the net and off again it wants to get back on
Yes zqwerty I took the tick out with no change.
I thought it would be an easy one for you, I do appreciate the effort

351888 2005-05-04 23:48:00 Have you been to Start/Run.......type in msconfig.....Enter then go to last tab "Startip Programs" and see what's in there? See if there is anything odd. What do I mean by Odd? Well stuff you don't recognise. If you don't recognise anything ask again here. mark c (247)

351890 2005-05-05 22:02:00 Hi
Start-Up had MS messenger there which I did not no I had and took the tick out. No change.
There is a 'Go-Back' facility with XP, will try that. Any dangers I should be aware of?
