Hey ppl!

Ok, well i noticed when i logged on earlier that the my internet was trying to dial to a totally different number, also that the username had changed slightly(I had to change it to correct info). None of my family have much access to my computer so i'm pretty sure they havent changed anything. I ran Ad-Aware, CWshredder and Spysubtract and my Dial number is still changing.. i'm kinda lost, any ideas?

Thank's alot =)
Ash

Try running spybot and swatit. Install spywareblaster.

Spywareblaster won't remove anything, it stops infestation before it can occur. Try bazzoka. It won't remove it but will tell you what is there and how to fix it.

You may have to disable the restore points and go to safe mode. Then run the spyware tools.
NOTE: Disabling restore points deletes them. But sometime you gotta do what you gotta do...

I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...
