I need some help. I have a Win98 machine that every time it starts it dials out to it's internet connection. This continues while the machine is on, constantly dialing out when ever you close or disconnect.
Computer was infected with the W32.Opaserv.worm but that has been removed with the Symantec removal tool.
I can't find what is calling the DUN to initialize. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Have you looked under your Internet Explorer options > connections to make sure "Never dial a connection" is checked?

I ask cause you gave very little additional information.

If that is good. The worm may have corrupted Internet Explorer.

Under System Tools > System Information > Tools there is a repair feature for Explorer. Can't hurt?

If you're running a firewall, let it connect, check traffic log for IP & trace it, check "Applications log for possible file name, location.
