[QUOTE="drag0nfly_69uk, post: 19623, member: 175255"] there is no stopping dialer to install and dial itself! that's a nasty piece of work. the only way to stop are: bar premium number dont use modem at all (install broadband) antivirus cant detect dialers because they are not virus firewall cant stop because it does not "surf" the net popup stopper cant stop because it's not a popup internet advance cant help much, if you stop active x and java from running then you dont have much fun surfing the net, most of shockwave and sound wont run as to shaun point 1: you dont have to surf those sites to get a dialer, dialers are sometimes hidden in adverts, links from search engines, game sites, music, lyric sites etc. 3: dialer dials at random intervals some modems can be set to dial by itself without pc being on (some modems has memory for voice mail etc) [/QUOTE]
