Do a spyware, virus, and trojan scan.

I have the same thing happening and I have done the scans. I am going to trend micro to try that and am currently dling adaware6. I use spybot s&d, norton 2003, gladiator, and ZApro. I do a lot of downloading from freeware sites so am sure it is spyware just not sure which app has it.

Just downloaded and used Spybot S&D - worked a treat !!
I no longer dial up my ISP from device manager - mind you I have no idea which of the applications Spybot removed was causing the problem - everything seems fine now. BIG THANKS TO HAL9000 AND NUCLEAR KRUSADER FOR THE ADVICE |
