178516 2003-09-28 00:14:00 I seem to have recently 'acquired' a program which keeps attempting to dial my internet connection whenever I am offline. I think I have found the program causing it which seems to be webassist/ABCwebassist which was created 10 days ago and found in the windows folder.
I don't seem to be able to delete it, and nothing apparently happens when I connect to the net when it prompts me to. It does however often stuff the computer up when other programs are runing

178517 2003-09-28 00:22:00 Download either Spybot Search & Destroy (security.kolla.de) or Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) and give them a run. Jen C (20)
178518 2003-09-28 00:28:00 Download, update and use 2 programs regularly that clean out this type of scumware/spyware.
Spybot (download.com.com) and Lavasoft (www.tucows.com)
