Have I Been Hacked?

and it could be located in system folder.

Nothing like that 😖

Think im safe?

I think so. It might just be your ISP which is causing the disconnects. I've never heard of a virus or dialler doing that.

C😬WINDOWS\SYSTEM\syswebTelecom.dll

Raz, why does it say line is busy weepweep

Thats a trojan: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/dialteleweba.html

Have you made the switch to Firefox yet? There are still unpatched secuirty holes in IE.

do a THOROUGH check for anything else that might be dialing out, or containing some sort of trojan

also, check your physical connections

Im not the only one using net on here, if i switched to firefox and tried to explain.....😬

Check the analysis for any special details on removal.
Go to Start|Programs|Sophos Anti-Virus and run the Sophos Anti-Virus program.
Select the Immediate tab.
Go to Options|Configuration... select the Action tab, tick 'Infected files', select 'Delete' then click 'OK'.
Click the Go button on the toolbar to start the scan.
Delete the file.
Go back to Options|Configuration... select the Action tab, then deselect 'Infected files' and 'Delete'. Click 'OK'.
Alternatively, find the file in Explorer and press the Shift and Del keys at the same time to delete it.

I dont have sophos anti virus :/

Find it in explorer? 😖

Have you updated the AVG definitions and done a full system scan?

My Avg updates everyday, soon as i come online.
So i think its safe to say its updated as much as i can get it.

I did the 'scan computer' check a few days ago, found the virus, since then it hast found anything, but the day after that i got the 'line is busy' but not since.....

Im checking just C: now, see if its there....😕

If you're still worried about a virus, then the best option would be to re-install Windows. (Maybe switch to Linux?)

If thats not possible then you'll have to go on what AVG says. Are you able to install Norton?

Not at this moment no. I would prefer the whole re-installation thing but, being a 15 year old male, my computer knowledge is highly limited. Plus, i think a switch to linux would kinda get me in trouble from....them

Firefox works just like IE
I made the switch on the family comp....
Jsut say. "IE sucks, use this for internet from now on..."
Or put a sticky note on the monitor.
