PC Dialling Out...

Mr E · 2005-02-22 10:01:31

My boss has a weird issue on his laptop. He is on a LAN, but when he loads firefox, his PC tries to dial his IOLfree account. I've checked his internet settings, and they are set to never dial out. His LAN settings are on autodetect. I've scanned for virii/trojans/diallers/spyware, and can't find anything. Any suggestions?

Is it Windows 2000 or XP?

Go to Network Connections, click the Advanced menu and then Dial-up Preferences. Uncheck any locations listed in the "Autodial by location" box and hit OK.
