Switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run Spybot Search and Destroy in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
Then install Spywareblaster.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

AVG will not remove a dialer. That is a piece of software that uses your phone line to dial up a website and transmit data back to you from that website. Its most probably a porno site. In doing so it causes a long distance call, probably to Europe or some other far distant land. So you will see on your phone bill excess charges, sometimes in the hundreds of $.
To remove the dialer, do this. Use Spybot to identify it is in there and its location. Once spybot has located it, change the + to a minus, then over on right, you will see that it is part of the registry keys. click on that.
In the registry, you will see a highlighted numerical value such as 1004 (for example), click on that 1004, and rename it 1003 and reboot your computer. That will remover the dialer.
Now go to start, search, and type in the name of dialer, then delete all related C:\ files related to it.

Dialer.BT.d is a dialer program which hides from the user during operation. Removal of this software is advisable if it is not installed for a purpose.

Dialler is spyware.
1)If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot do that now .
2) Then Do an online virus scan to check if you still have any other viruses in your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .

it's a virus that collects information from your PC then sends it to the hacker for them to use either remove it or quarantine it but don't leave it in your system

Ring bt they will be able to block the dailer, but you need to check your dial up number, bt should do it for you.
