There are several sex site diallers that will do that - have a look for anything called 'dialler.exe' or similar anywhere on your computer.  Also go to Start\Run, type msconfig then check out the Startup tab to see if there's anything suspicious-looking in there. If in doubt, let us know what's on the list. 

Another place to check is the Dialup Networking folder - have a look to see if you've developed any new dialup connections, particularly one called 'Go In', I think is the name.  Some of these illicit diallers will have your pc calling up foreign SP's at a huge cost to yourself.

  Subject: [PCSOFT] Mysterious dialing


  Windows 98

  What would make my PC dial into my ISP even if no applications are open?  I
  have checked everything I know to check with my modem and can't see anything
  that would cause this.

  Can you help me?

  Thanks in advance,
  Debbie Grabb
