Hi,
Can anyone help me I seem to have picked up a virus/worm or something that causes my modem to try to reconnect after I have disconnected from the internet and when i disable my modem a message appears that says kthx.owns-u.com.
I have tried to rid my computer of this problem by downloading ad aware and spybot and i have alsotried to reseach the problem on google with not much luck.
Please help
cheers emackj ???

Viruses and Worms are not ad/malware.

See Emackj?  Told you you'd get more help posting in the forum.  I went to the symantec site and search brought up nothing on any string combination of kthnx owns.  It sounds like a autodialer (this is a 56k modem I'm assuming).
