I apparently have had a default auto-dialer downloaded yesterday. What do I do to find and incinerate it? I am running Tiny Personal Firewall, but all I got was a pop-up that said "TPF has detected that application 'C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SSDPSRV.EXE' was replaced by another application with the description "SSDP Service on Windows Millenium. Do you want to accept replacement of this app?" I clicked "Deny". I also got an outgoing connection alert: Appl 'TCPIP KERNAL DRIVER',protocall [2], remote address 239.255.255.250 - Unknown Event. I clicked "Deny" And later I got "The telephony sub-system required Dial-Up Networking to shut down. Restart your computer by double-clicking the connection in the Dial-Up Networking folder." I've only had a computer less than a year, and am in need of some knowledgable help. Mahalo Nui- (Many thanks)
