379452 2005-08-08 07:42:00 I have dial up .

Now that you have all stopped laughing . . . on some, not all, occasions when i turn on my pc the dial up connection box automatically comes up . Being a careful chap i do nothave auto connect so it stops there .

I have done a hijack this run on the start up porcesses and cannot find anything that looks dodgy .

Does anybody suffer this (of course you to will have to confess to having dial up if this is the case - but don't let that put you off, you'll feel like a weight has been lifted after you tell the world !!) or have any suggestions ?

Have you had a look in start/run - type in msconfig and see what apps are checked there to start?

thanks mark. i have tried that and nothing out of the ordinary seems to be around. i have also just tried a fancy website that checks your hijack this log and it came up with nowt unusual either. maybe just "one of thise things" ?

379458 2005-08-08 08:31:00 Are any antivirus or spyware proggys set to Auto update?
What proggys do you have running in the systray?
Also there is a particularly nasty dialer doing the rounds at the moment, Will cost you $75 if it manages to hook up
Update AV & Spyware proggys and do a full scan
I would also recommend downloading my favourite new tool the ewido suite and giving that a run, it picks up stuff others do not (make sure you update the defs after installing)
Also install a firewall eg Zone Alarm or the like, and it should inform you exactly what is trying to access the net
