Something called 'purityscan' managed to get onto my PC.
It basically set it's self a dial up so that it became my
default internet connection. I managed to delete all
traces of it using 'search' and then deleting. However
whenever I boot up or close my internet connection the
dial up connection pops up on my desktop. This isn't
causing me any problems it's just annoying. Basically I
would like to no if there is any way of stopping this
occuring.

thanks,
Chris.
