| 225668 | 2004-03-28 09:44:00 | Hi Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to get infected by these dialer programs from an embedded picture in and E-mail. I got sent and E-mail that turned out to be spam but before I realised it I had opened it and it contained a pornographic picture. Now I'm worried if I might have been infected by one of there dialers as I'm terrified of getting one. GeoffW |

AntiVirus program Spybot search&destroy Ad-aware Update them and run them. Also, I would recommend a program called SpywareBlaster. It's like an innoculation against Internet Explorer hijacks amoungst others. The only problem found is that they may remove some Kazaa files ,which stop it working. |
