MSN connection won't save password!!
Something wierd is going on. I created a internet connection and everything was OK. Then all of the sudden when I connect to the internet there is this real long password in the password box and I didn't put it there. I unchecked the "save password" box and typed in the correct password and the rechecked the "save password" box. I got on the net with no problem. The next day I go on the net and that real long password is there!!!! I can't get rid of it. I have resaved the correct password but it will not remember it. I don't know if this is a coincidence but I deleted a program called dialler.exe because it was trying to dial up a long distance number from some sports betting place. How can i get my internet copnnection to remember my real password? I have tried deleting the connection and making a new one bit that didn't help.

With windows XP it hides the length of your password so it isn't so easy for people to guess. It is the correct password, it just appears wrong. Try and connect with it and you'll see.

Yes, then you better run a spyware removal tool like Ad-Aware and also scan for viruses and trojans.
