Not just Spyware, but it COULD be a virus... Where is it dialing to? Do you have antivirus software?

Thankyou for taking the trouble to answer Flame.

Got AVG anti virus and sygate firewall

It rings my dial up number, but when connected trys to contact somewhere from a purported firewall i down loaded.

I dont know how to adjust which programs run at start up.

Thankx anyway.

Well.... As far as certain programs running at startup, I have a software program for that.... If you are interested, you can download it from me... Also, what internet browser are you using?

Sorry for not explaining earlier.... What I mean by the web browser, is... What web browser is trying to dial out? (AOL, MSN, etc.)
