What program?

[somyunguy]

The program is "Connect2Party".

Is it something you installed on purpose? It sounds like on of those porn dialers.

Read this page on how to get rid of it.

thanks for your help.....that web page helped me get rid of the problem. I did exactly what the web page said, but the program kept appearing after every boot. Then I searched for all files that were created/modified that same date and hour. I found a file that wasn't being deleted by the uninstall program. I went to startup in the system configuration and sure enough ... it was there under System Task. All I did then was uncheck this particular box and that was the end of that. I opted to delete the file too. The name of the file was c:\mt.exe. Thanks
