Stalker Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 10 minutes ago my dsl connection was disabled and I couldnt enable it again... so I took a look in the system manual under DFÜ-network and there was a "EXDIALER" next to my SpeedTouchDSL Connection icon. I deleted the EXDIALER immediately then I restarted my pc and now all is ok. now here're my questions: 1.) I've heard that it is impossible to have a dialer on dsl.. but I got one.... 2.) Is it enough to delete only the icon or do I have to delete more? Stalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Even if you deleted the dialer icon, the dialer is still installed. It should be part of the installation of the DSL software. It is what connects you to the internet. I have WinPoet and it has it's own dialer called WrDialer. Do not remove it unless you wish to reinstall all of your DSL software. The reboot reset everything to allow you to reconnect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalker Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 hmm... but the EXDIALER icon was built today.. it wasn't there earlier..... there was never a EXDIALER icon......... is Norton AV able to locate and remove dialers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Were you surfing some rather nefarious sites today? Who makes your DSL software? I would be checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I just found this while doing a fast search at Google: Dialer.ExDialer Do you have any AV software? Do a search for the file on your PC and scan it if you find it. Failing that, check your registry for the items stated on that page above.

Stalker Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 Were you surfing some rather nefarious sites today? Who makes your DSL software? I would be checking it out. I did some searches at google... I think I got the dialer there... Do you have any AV software yes, Norton AV 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I don't think you would get that from Google, but run Norton and see if it pops up in there. If it does, follow the instructions on the page I linked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en4rcment Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I did some searches at google... I think I got the dialer there... There's no naked people on google... Those dialers are hidden in adult service sites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalker Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 I wasnt on that "sites" this pc is used by 6 people... but I detected that dialer...

WhiteKnight77 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 If that computer is used by 6 people, any one of them could have picked that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
