A software on my computer is dialing out on my modem.
How do i determine what software it is?
You should take care of this immediately since you may have downloaded
something that is placing pay-per-minute long-distance calls, not just
using your internet connection.
From a response by MVP Kelly Theriot to a similar question:
Right click My Network Places/Properties/Advanced (top toolbar)
/Dial-Up Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Uncheck all
locations and check off always ask me before auto dialing.
Also, Disable autodial while I am logged on.
In the Enable Auto-Dial By Location dialog box, select each
location for which you want the automatic dialing feature
to operate. Reboot.
Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type
the following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s
To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses
You can delete any TCP/IP addresses that you see under this key.
Note that AutoDial can use IP addresses, DNS fully qualified domain
names (FQDN), and NetBIOS names.
