| 577137 | 2007-08-06 08:59:00 | Recently installed a new dial-up modem. All went well except now it randomly goes on-line by itself. How do I go about tracking down whatever is making it dial by itself? (Running WinXP home, regularly scanned using NAV,Ad-aware and SpyBot) | flyge1 (12634) | ||

| 577139 | 2007-08-06 09:10:00 | It's probably your AV or something trying to update itself. If you have a firewall you can check the logs. To prevent it happening, go into Internet Explorer's options and enable "Never dial a connection" under the Connections tab. |

| 577142 | 2007-08-06 11:27:00 | Thanks for the responses. Have changed the setting as advised by FoxyMX but will have to go off-line to see what effect it has | flyge1 (12634) | ||

How do I go about tracking down whatever is making it dial by itself? (Running WinXP home, regularly scanned using NAV,Ad-aware and SpyBot) Have a look in your bios settings, for something called Wake On Ring (WOR), turn this off if its enabled. Prolly a good idea to do a HijackThis scan too. :2cents: |
