Do this then mate
In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entry. The removal of this entry is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.
Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Hot_Kiss= <Windows> Hot_Kiss.exe -n.
and delete it if it exists.
Close the registry editor.

Firewall won't help user downloads, especially not ones instigated by browser vulns like this one was.
My advice would be to turn up the security slider whenever you're going 'surfing' and of course have the latest automatic updates from MS.

the problem is, it is already on your system, which means it can cause havoc, a firewall will only stop things from going in and out. If its already in a firewall cannot do miuch with it.

Dial/HotKiss-A is a premium rate porn dialler.
Dial/HotKiss-A copies itself to the Windows folder with the filename Hot_Kiss.exe and creates shortcuts on the Desktop and in the Start Menu.
The following registry entry is created so that dialler is run when Windows starts up:
premium rate !!!!!!!!! so is it costing u?

I had the same program installed on my machine, there will be a little pink and green icon down by the clock, a little bit like a lot of diamonds... right click on it and click uninstall.
