WARNING! Your computer is infected with malware. Your dial-up internet connection
has been hijacked by a porn dialer or some other hijacker program.
You have been diverted to a very expensive premium rate phone number, instead of
dialling your ISP. Go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DIAL-UP NETWORKING and
delete the premium rate connection icon.
Then run Internet Explorer and go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS and select
your real ISP as your default internet connection.
You need to download some programs to clean the infection out of your computer. AdAware
from LavaSoft is a good choice, at http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Also download and install the program Spybot Search and Destroy at http://www.spybot.info
