[QUOTE="Shaun, post: 19709, member: 175390"] Thanks all. @drag0nfly_69uk, I found dial up networking under programs Start>Accessories>Communications. In there I found "Make New Connection" (no number specified), Dellnet and ntlworld so it looks like I'm OK. I think I shall send a complaint off to BT and the regulators. If BT allow this scum to connect their premium lines to BT's telephone network, then BT should take some of the blame. After all, its BT who are trying to charge me for this call. When I spoke to my kids it seems they were tricked into trying to close the popup window using a false 'X' in the top right hand corner of the window. So I don't see how BT can justify their demand for this payment. Anyway, I've now got Net Nanny running, so I shall see how it goes. One of the options in Net Nanny is to disable pop-ups, but this option seems to cause one or two problems so I've not got it selected. Once again, many thanks all. [/QUOTE]
