| 690709 | 2008-07-21 01:53:00 | My computer has started dialing up my ISP on its own. If I cancel a dialup that I have initiated and then click "Work Offline" in the dialup window it won't dial by itself. But it's annoying and I suspect adware or some such bug. Any ideas of how to fix this would be appreciated. | decoder (13991) | ||
| 690710 | 2008-07-21 01:58:00 | You may have a dialler . If you use IE, open it then go to tools / internet options / connections . If there's another entry here besides your ISP's delete it Have you scanned your system with an AV program, or something? |
