This is my first time to post here so please bear with me.I use netzero as my dial-up ISP and here is the problem I am having. (I am using Windows XP Pro)
When I click on the NetZero Desktop Icon the connect screen will come up but, before I can click "connect" a task will show in the task bar that says Network Connections and the number 2222 will be dialed. The only way I can connect to the ISP is to go into Start- Settings- Network Connections and
delete the NetZeo Dial-up, then click Connect and it will connect to the ISP without problems. The next time I get ready to connect to the ISP I have to do the same thing again.
I have ran Ad-Aware, SpyBot, PCBug Doctor, Spyware Killer, to make shure I have no spyware.
I also tried to disable software supression like the MS help file said to do but when I click on network Connections I do not have a Heading called Network Task where I can disable software suppression.
Another thing occasionaly I will get a window saying that I or a program has requested info from CNN.com.
If someone could tell me what to do I shure will try it. I do not want to have to format the drive and start all over.

Thanks In advance,
Katman
I am not always at the PC so will try what is recommended and post results.

This problem could occur because of Spyware , go on over to the Security section of this fourm and post you problem along with a hijackthis log .
Spyware & Trojans and Other Nasties
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Please Don't post the hijackthis log in this section Thanks .
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. HijackThis
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!


1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

3. Close ALL windows except HJT

4. SCAN with HJT

5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'

DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH
