Help! i got dialer 8U. How to get rid of it? I do not want to wreck something else on the computer, as it is my friend's. What would be the simplest way? I have AVG, but it cannot get rid of it. I was reading about starting the comuter in Safe mode, but to switch System restore off? Where is this? i looked in Windows help but cannot find this option? Would there be an easier way to get rid of this annoying virus, like a software I can download??please help!

The System Restore feature does not apply for Windows 2000 (only for Windows ME/XP). Reference previous relevant dialer 8U removal articles, steps, and discussions at, http://computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/12312.html NOTE: Follow the quoted articles and procedures for Windows 2000.

THanks For your help Top Speed. I will tell you if it works:))) THis morning i got a Dialer9U for a change and some horrible porn pages. I cannot get rid of them..... these days for 5 minutes on internet i am spending 5 days fixing it! Thanks for your help. Any idea how to get rid of these buggers?? Thanks Gauri

hi gauri, it would be a good idea to unplug your telephone line when you are not using your computer if you are using dsl and no firewall. a good software to install would be pestpatrol. good freeware adaware, and spybot. good free firewall zone alarm 4.5 good free anti-trojan ASquared. all the best, murve
