Phone dialler??????

Hi

" You will be connected to a different number" at an outrageous rate.
So obviously I didn't bother, but now every time I boot up the PC I get a
shortcut on the desktop to "Get MP3" and one in my favourites folder in IE6.

I ran "Adaware" which found 6 Malware entries in the Registry I also ran
"Spybot SD" and deleted all entries but to no avail.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this f**ker.:-))

TIA

it is very possible it is a virus use your anti-virus software with updates
and run the AV software in the most thorough mode scanning all files and do
it in SAFE MODE

Erm, no, it's spyware, not a virus. If you don't know the difference,
suggest you refrain from replying.

Hi,

More info about parasites:

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow the prompts.

You can also download Hijack This from here:
http://computercops.biz/zx/phoenix22/hijackthis.zip
http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
Go here:

For instructions on how to use it; you have to post the log it
produces here:

HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run at
boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this program
gives you are generally just informative. Most of the programs it will
come up with are valid programs that you actually want running. You'll
have to go through the results and tell the program to delete unwanted
programs. If you can't figure out what some of the programs are, don't
just delete them, research them and/or post them so experts can let
you know what the program does. Just type the program name into google
which gets a decent answer pretty quickly.

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of
BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program. It
is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and give you
the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Roger

I went through them all and "Hijack this" done the trick.
