Every time I dialup my ISP my icon properties are changed:
Name becomes: ConnInts1
Telephone becomes: 01168800141
My dial-up window icon gets changed to Earthlink_OLD and the standard one gets changed as above. This happens every time. Any suggestions?

Probably just your isp settings... if you're paranoid about viruses you can give this free online scanner a try:

It was a valid problem, which was solved when somebody advised me to get rid of it with Spybot Search & Destroy. My ISP settings were OK and svchost.exe changed them everytime I dialled out - Spybot was able to highlight the file and enabled me to remove it.
