Rconnect Dialer With Spyware!

[chakravyuh8 0]

When I had run Rconnect dialer for the first time,A cashbuddy program self- installed in my system.When I tried to uninstall it from control panel, it started asking questions-- why do u wish 2 uninstall,etc,etc.Later on while uninstalling it the system hanged.After rebooting I found out that it was still there and had not been uninstalled!!

After running an anti-spyware program in my system,many programs were caught to be spying on my pc,which included that cashbuddy program too.My system was then totally under the mercy of spyware and viruses .

After formatting and reinstalling Windows XP,I installed rconnect dialer,but never opened it.I removed the dialer shortcut from the desktop.To connect , I use the windows dialer instead from then on by dialing #777.

Plz share ur comments.

download and install Ad-Aware SE from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

and remove all that spywares.

I think it may not have come from the dialer prog directly.

Firstly, the problem you mentioned will happen using any internet connection. Spyware can encroach on your system if you do not use a proper anti-virus. So the best thing to do is to use a properly updated anti-virus, and a firewall (Windows ICF, default with XP SP-2 is ideal).

So, ALWAYS use an anti-virus, and make sure that its updated regularly. I use Kaspersky, and find it the best of the lot.

You can even try ZoneAlarm another good firewall and set only a few programs to use internet!!
