I am running Windows 98 with a dial up connection to the
internet on a BT line.
The internal modem has started to self dial to the
internet. I have installed and scanned with Adaware, but
the problem still exisits. I have checked the dialler
settings and all appears ok as the number shown is my ISP.
Anyone had a similar experience / knows the problem / has
a solution please.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet Options

Click the "Connections" tab and make sure the dialup settings is set to
"Never dial a connection"

Brian,

AdAware does not detect everything, and if you have an older version of
AdAware the detection library would be out of date anyway.

Please follow the troubleshooting instructions at the URL below:
