Need Assistance

[Albert]

I have a Pentium III 600 Mhz, 384 Sdram, 32MB Video Card, Windows XP
Professional.
The problem that I am having is that my internet connection pops up
automatically when I start up my computer. A message appears saying that
"you or a program has requested information from crl.verisign.com which
connection do you want to use".
When my computer is on and I recieve calls at my home phone it
interferes sounding like a fax is transmitting.

Greetings --

Problem 1. To deal with any sort of adware and/or spyware, such
as that distributed by and with Gator, Comet Cursors, eAnthology,
Bonzai Buddy, or KaZaA, etc., that you've deliberately (but without
understanding the consequences) installed, two products that are
quite effective (at finding and removing this type of scumware) are
Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search & Destroy from
http://security.kolla.de/. Both have free evaluation versions. It's
even possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your system
against most future intrusions. I use both and generally perform
manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.

Problem 2. Configure your modem so that it doesn't answer
incoming calls.

having both at once. -- RAH
