Internet Explorer / Firefox - Asking to connect / dial

[DaveyD]

Hi,

My mum's PC is playing up a little.

Basically, this problem is on both Firefox and Internet explorer, and is driving us nuts. When loading pages on firefox, an a connect/dialer box pops up every page. If you press cancel, it carries on as normal, and continues loading a page. The same happens in internet explorer and asks for a connection to be dialed.

Does anybody know what could be causing this? I've scanned for viruses/adware etc and not come up with anything. There's no dialup connection installed, or even a modem, everything goes through our router.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Can you post a hijackthis log of the machine just to be sure it aint a dialer?

If you don't find any malware with adaware / spybot and hijackthis - then go to Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->Communications-->Network Setup Wizard and tell it to connect through a lan.
