re: Trojan Horse Phone Dialler Wednesday, August 27, 2003 at 6:22 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by frank (1 messages posted) The reference to ...hotaction_ca. A window pops up whenever I open my computer saying that 'hotaction_ca' has 'made an illegal ' entry. I can close but the window says "if this persists contact the provider'. Of course I cant find the provider. Any thoughts on how I can stop this window popping up to tell me of 'hotaction_ca''s illegal attempts? I've checked with my long-distance phone provider but there has been no abnormal use of my phone line. Any help appreciated.
