15252 2001-07-09 06:26:00 I usually use only one ISP with one dial up connection. However, I have found a dial up connection calling itself 'Intrusive' on my system. I have tried a number of ways to delete it, but have so far been unsuccessful. There is nothing listed in its 'Properties' and I have no idea how it got onto my system. Its name concerns me. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Using: Win98, Internet Explorer 5+, Outlook Express.

15253 2001-07-12 05:21:00 Hmm... my first thought is that something has put it there. It's possible to add Dial up connections via malicious webpages and programs. So first I'd run a thorough virus scan. If that comes up clear, then I'd proceed with caution into the Registry, and search for 'Intrusive' and see what I found.

Then I'd blow it away.

Then I'd spend the next two weeks getting my computer working again.

*grin*

That's just me though. Good luck.
