dial-up connection??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi Dippy,

To prevent this automatic dialup box, turn off the Remote Access Auto
Connection Manager Service. This Service creates a connection to a remote
network whenever a program references a remote DNS or NetBIOS name or
address. To disable this service, try these steps:

Right click My Computer icon, choose Manage/Services and
Applications/Services
In the right pane, select Remote Access Auto Connection Manager and double
click
Use the Startup type drop box and choose Disabled.

Follow-up with malware cleanup, just in case.

Do you see a rasautou.exe process in Task Manager Processes tab?
