auto connect setting

[Jd]

I recently went from a high speed, always on connection to dial up.
And now my computer will automatically try to connect to the net at
random times. I've checked every setting I can find. I suspect the
install disc to set up my high speed connection configured it to do
so. But I've un-installed the software and tried everything I know to
do. I checked the never dial a connection tab and it still dials up on
it's own. It's driving me nucking futs. Could someone please offer
some advice. Thanks.

Hi jd,

Usually happens when there is spy/ad programs installed on the system. With
the high speed connection, you simply did not notice the activity. This
should help:
