Dial up connection on start up
I recently had a few trojans and viruses which have now been removed thanks to AVG, Adaware, Trojan Hunter, and Spybot. All scans are showing clean now. The only thing I cannot seem to stop is when I initialy start windows I get the dial up connection screen asking me to connect to the internet. It is using the correct phone number and my normal service provider but I didn't ask to connect. I have a feeling it might be something to do with one of the viruses I removed. I have cleared all the startup ticks from Msconfig but it still keeps appearing. Once I get this problem sorted I will be happy. Please help. Thankyou |

Dial up connection on start up
Check for any programs that you have set to 'auto update'. Also, if using
a firewall, i.e. Zone Alarm, you should be able to determine what program is requesting the connection. Heirloom, old and hope that helps "Tara" wrote in message ...
