Dialup connection disconnects and then dials a different number
I'm working on a Windows ME system that uses a dial-up connection. If
I sign on through a dialup connection I have a connection for a minute or so before I am disconnected. After being disconnected a new Dialup connection is made that tries to dial a different number everytime its launched. If I kill one connection another one starts immediately. Here are a couple sample numbers it tries to dial: 101080501131632012778 10142200118819900060955 Does anyone know what is going on? I noticed a process running in msconfig called be1bd9fc.exe or belbd9fc.exe. I have also noticed their is an instance of fntldr.exe running that I have idetified as spyware. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, jship |

You've picked up a rogue dialler and as you already know this is malware/spyware. You need to cleanse your system as a matter of urgency and in future ensure you practice safe hex by keeping your AV application up to date and being careful about the sites you visit and the links you click. None of the three processes you mention are part of Win Me so, as a start, you could try booting to Safe Mode and deleting them and also remove any suspicious entries in MSConfig | Startup. If this procedure doesn't help grab yourself a copy of HijackThis (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html) and post the log to the HijackThis forum at http://aumha.net/ where you should find someone who will help you remove any unwanted files and processes. Please read the admin post at the top of the forum first before posting so you are aware of what you need to do. -- Mike Maltby jship wrote: I'm working on a Windows ME system that uses a dial-up connection.
