Is there any way out of this BUG?
Hello!
Few days ago, I searched the Internet as usual and clicking on the link, I received a pop-up, a self-install software to be exact, having an adult content. It self- installs on the systems. The name of that software (you probably heard of it before) is "Webdialer OnlineDialer", dialer.exe At an instant, my ISP disconnected and this ddialer started connecting by itself. I had no way of stopping it by all means. What I did, I disconnected my telephone cable from the PC system until it stopped dialing. Next, I immediately went to "Add or Remove Programs" and uninstalled the software which worked (I think). Then I tried removing it from my desktop, but unfortunately it did not. In addition, what I tried, I clicked on it once to open it (still with my telephone cable disconnected) and clicked "Uninstall", giving me the the pop-up message in German I think. Furthemore, the icon on my desktom then was able to be removed to the trash. It made me think I removed that BUG from my system for good. What I did next, I searched for this software on my system to be sure I truly got rid of it. And yet my system did not find it anyhow. My question stands, Is this software really gone out of my system? If not, is there any way to get rid of it? and also, how can I prevent from this to happen again? If you would like to read more about this. You may go to this other newsgroup where I found almost the exact incident. Please vist the link and have me contact immediately with solution. Thank you. Your help is very much appreciated. http://beta.experts- exchange.com/Security/Bugs_Alerts/Q_20620948.html |

Is there any way out of this BUG?
Greetings --
To deal with any sort of "adware" and/or "spyware," such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Bonzai Buddy, Porn Dialers, or KaZaA 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. Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH wrote in message ... Hello!

It is hardly a BUG.
Download/Install/Run AdAware from Lavasoft (update reference file before running it). That should remove it. wrote in message ... Hello!
