We may have a rogue dialler.?

Question

We have Vista, we are also on broadband, any ideas how we can find out for sure and remove it?

Answer 1

Most dialers come in the form of an advanced rootkit that loads at start up. Sophos is the rootkit detection program I use. You might try that and/or avast anti-virus home edition (free), it's pretty good at finding and removing trojans and rootkits

Answer 2

If you're on broadband that won't be an issue unless you have a modem installed and connected to the phone line. That said, Spybot Search & Destroy has an excellent list of rogue dialers in its list of threats & malware and does a good job of removing them.

Answer 3

if you are on broadband, then a dialler, will not do you any harm, as long as you do not connect a phone line directly to your PC or laptop.

Answer 5

If you're on broadband then your phone modem (not your broadband modem) probably won't be connected so what's it dialling through?

Answer 6

try downloading spyblaster or ad aware free edition

you can also check which number your pc is using to connect by going to tools>internet options>connections

check number against your providers

Answer 7

the most safe way is to contact bt and get them to block preium numbers from your line it's free it just takes them 24hrs. to set up

Answer 8
