Click OK, and then close the Network Connections dialog box.

287162 2004-11-02 10:23:00 Do you have a website link in Start > All programs > Startup? Rob99 (151)
287163 2004-11-02 19:10:00 Hmm it sounds like it might be a dialler. If its still dialling out. I would either go to start/run and type msconfig. Then go to the startup tab. See if there are any strange entries there. And untick it.

Or press (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to bring up task manager and tell us whats there. If its still dialling out, and running, it'll be in here.

If it is a dialler, and its still in your system, you'll soon find out when u get your next phonebill!

287164 2004-11-03 05:12:00 Yes, found it in Task manager.
If I cancel Process, it starts up again.
Did a search for the file then deleted it but still comes back.
At work tonight but think the file name in "rasdial" or "rasauto"
something like that.
How do I kill it?

I did update drivers after new istall of windows (video and soundblaster) can't remember which one but one wanted to have something like a live update...things get a little fuzzy now so might go to web sights to track which one it is.

287167 2004-11-03 05:32:00 gday,

have you run adaware and spybot? they will almost definitely find it if you have a dialer running a muck. Perhaps you have not been billed for anything as you have always been there to cancel the dialing.

287169 2004-11-03 05:43:00 According to Google, rasauto is a trojan or a dialler.

I think the entry for it is in the registry somewhere. Thats where and how it runs, when u boot up Windows.

It looks like it installs itself as a service.

Hmm altho rasautou (notice the u) and rasauto.dll are part of XP, (I think), and so is rasdial. BUT I dont think it runs normally in the background.
