Default 25p a second dial up problem!

My mum connected to 56k on her laptop earlier, she gets a pop up about an online betting site.

next minute she gets disconnected then it says "connected to NV at 46.6kb" and theres a little meter in the corner going up 25p a second!

it got to 75p and i pulled the internet connection out and closed it down.

is there anyway i can find out who these fuckers are so i shaft a rusty knife up there arse?

Look in the Dial-up properties ...
Get the number ...
Contact BT and ask for the originator and owner
Book a ticket
Stop off en-route to Airport to obtain Bollock Filleting Knife
Catch plane across the water - Cos that's where they'll be

Run Adaware Pro with latest Definitions to remove scumware and shit from Registry.
Manually remove the Dial-up entry in Dial up settings after restoring proper numbera andsetting it to default.
