Help!! I've downloaded a dialer...

[wty]

I read an article in The Sun Yesterday, about a new activity in Britain, called dogging. There were a couple of web-sites listed, and i went to them. Now there is a dialer downloaded on my PC, and when I boot up, a device detector says I have a PCI device, and a multimedia audio controller found, do I want to install? I THINK I've gotten rid of the dialer, but when I go online, I get a message saying "svchost.exe has created an error..." Can anyone help?

Well, if you just use your Commordore Vic 20, this type of problem wouldn't happen...

I suggest you shut off your computer and call the chat lines - its safer.

ZoneAlarm

donwload a free firewall called ZoneAlarm at zonealarm.com; its free. The firewall will give you the ability to choose which one application will have access to the internet which ones dont.........

svchost.exe is all you have to enter in google. I got the same thing, and there is actually a discussion forum (somewhat like TERB) where I found the solution (it was the top pick for my search criteria). If I recall correctly I just had to delete it from my registry.

First- if you have a dialer remove it...

go to start/search

in the search field type dailer.exe

remove dialer... program

then go and get either

Mcafee Stinger

or

Nortons Virus removal tool ( the latest one)

use it

install a a really good commercial anti-virus

thanks

Thanks to you all. I've now got Spybot, and Alarm plus, both of which seem great.

I believe in a previous thread, several people were concerned that spybot is itself also spyware and difficult to remove if you discover that it is affecting your system in any negative way.
