| 348383 | 2005-04-25 04:33:00 | Well, the best solution is get rid away your computer. You don't have spend time and money to protect it or getting overcharged telephone bills because of unwanted diallers. :D | Renmoo (66) | ||

| 348385 | 2005-04-25 05:36:00 | Some people ask for it. I just did a reinstall on a PC today, installed a firewall, antivirus and antispyware. Explained it all to the owner, told him to run the checkers every day, he sat and watched TV the whole time I was explaining. He bought his $3000 PC 2 years ago to look at porn. Thats it. Told him he'd be better off with a magazine. |

| 348388 | 2005-04-25 05:45:00 | I have a dialler here that I cannot get rid of (well, cheaply anyway ;) ) . It keeps ringing my sister in law in Auckland, friends in Wellington, and others all over the world, which ties the phone up for hours at a time and Telecom charge me for this !!!11! I have been informed by Telecom that I must take my own precautions to minimise or stop these calls, however, try as I might the missus won't stop . Surely Telecom should look into this for me too if they are crediting other's costs for computer diallers?? :help: |

| 348389 | 2005-04-25 05:59:00 | put a toll bar on and tell her to buy a calling card? Almost be cheaper to use a cell phone if you got one with free minutes on it |

That way, the whole family can be within walking distance! Quite Frankly, I think that's a damn good idea . |

| 348392 | 2005-04-25 10:23:00 | Some comments seem to fly right over heads around here lol. My point was as the phone line subscriber I am responsible for the use of that line, that extends to peripherals connected to that line, mechanical or human :D I quite like Aurealis' suggestion though...... |
