Navigating in Internet a dialer snicked into my computer and I am not able to
remove it. I was connecting using ADSL, but had also a normal modem to the
telephone line for normal dialing (which has now been disconnected for good)
.. I do have Norton AV and ADAwarePersonal updated at latest release and
active, but that would not stop it from getting through.
I have tried an old version of mcafee clean sdat that deleted 20 and more
suspected files including several dialers... which made me think I solved it,
but at the next connection to the internet the same dialer stepped in... and
there is no way to get rid of it unless I kill the application through task
manager, but that does not last for long... I am going to download a latest
version of sdat from mcafee... and try, hoping it works.. Anyway does anyone
one have any clue on how to protect from illegal dialer and also how to
remove it?
