Hi everybody,

I connect to the internet thru my modem. Sometimes when I
am on-line my computer disconnects from my usual
connetion and then dials a connection in a foreign
country. I am not able to stop the process unless I re-
start the computer. I have scanned my computer with
Norton but no virus is detected.

Can someone tell me what is going on and how to prevent
it from happening?

Thank you.

Oscar
 
When you visit a site and it wants money from you, it
will sometimes hang up your existing dial up and have it
redial to its host site via a chargeable number. That is
how they make money for you viewing their site. It is
charged to your phone bill.
