257845 2004-08-03 11:09:00 I use windows ME. Two week ago when starting my computer a dial up window to connect with the internet started to open up each time I start my computer

I have run spybot search and Destroy and have found no spyware etc.

Also when I right click on a file a dial up window also opens up each time i click the properties tag.

I have the box "always dial my default connection" in dial up connection settings ticked

Thank you

Thanks again

257848 2004-08-05 09:28:00 Sounds like you have Norton System Works/Antivirus/Firewall installed.
When I was using Me I found they were the culprits for the behaviour you outline, and fixed it by disabling all the automatic update features.
