| 240605 | 2004-05-31 06:01:00 | I have Sophos anti virus on my home PC and it has detected a dialer in the System directory and asks me to contact my "Newtwork Supervisor". I have tried AdWare and SpyBot (S&D) and neither detect this dialer. I tried Add/Remove programs but its not there. When I go to the directory where this .exe file is I cannot remove it as I dont have permission ! All the time Sophos is throwing up warnings that I have this dialer and to see my non existant system administrator !!!! I run Windows ME HELP !!! It's driving me insane. |

| 240606 | 2004-05-31 06:22:00 | Can you stop it by using task manager if you know the name of the dailer you should be able to delete it then ?? | johnboy (217) | ||
| 240607 | 2004-05-31 06:24:00 | or try booting from a boot disk and deleting it. | wotz (335) | ||
| 240608 | 2004-05-31 06:30:00 | It a long time sinc I used WindowsME but I think there is a dialer there as part of the system. Windows XP has a dialer. Right click on the dialer icon/properties/version. and see what it is. | i-gordon (962) | ||
