| 44723 | 2002-04-20 03:06:00 | Sometimes when I close Netscape (4.72) and disssconnect from the Internet It automatically redials. I have tracked this down to what seems to be a ghost version of netscape running in the background (not showing on the task bar) and can only shut it down by pressing ctrl/alt/del and using the task manager. Ok I can stop the autoredial by deselecting 'connect automatically' in my Internet setings but it's a pain in the preverbial. Anyone know what/how/why this is occuring and how to stop it?? Thanks in advance for any help. |

If you find Netscape gets unbelieveably slow, or hyperlinks won't respond to a click (although they can be right-clicked and opened in another window), exit Netscape, kill off the Phantom with <ctrl+alt+del> and restart. You may find the dialling is being called by some spyware. |
