I came to know that a dailer connects to internet through very expensive numbers without user persmission.

How can I know that my computer is not dailed through one of them.

I use dsl modem and have windows xp.

If you think you have malware on your computer, use the programs below. Let us know what they find. DSL does not use a dialup connection but you still could have the malware on your computer.

Install Super Antispyware. Run it in safe mode. Allow it to quarantine whatever it finds.
