How do I get rid of them?

Every time I start my PC and connect to the Net I get a dialer access prompt pop-up on my screen and a desktop shortcut appears. Norton identifies it as a dialer and suggest allowing it to be automtically deleted, which I do, but it still returns.

Added to this is what sounds like my internal modem trying to make a connection every few minutes. I am on broadband and no connection is established by whatever is doing it, but I want to get it off my PC.

Any techies able to help me?

Search for and install one or all of Ad-aware, Spybot search and destroy and Microsoft Anti-Spyware and let them scan your system - hopefully that should clear it.

If its XP. Put it in safe mode when you do this, to give it a helping hand.
