Rogue dialler

I have Modem Protection from BT installed that
detects rogue diallers. Several times a day it has
alerted me that my computer has attempted to dial
out a number. I have traced each one with ICTIS and it
appears that they are to premium rate text numbers
(63660, 88709 etc). How do I remove this rogue dialler?
I have run Microsoft AntiSpyware, SpyBot and Nortons
2005 Antivirus but to no avail. Any help appreciated.
 
Hi

Keep a close eye on processes running (look in 'Task Management or a similar
software) which lists processes and try to get a fix on the dialer.exe
running.

Could also look at a firewall log or sth if it is being blocked.

Once you know a bit about it, there should be a tool out there or you may
have to go into the registry (with care) to eliminate certain keys but that
is the second step.

First, identify it.

Good luck.
