if you have xp the simplest thing to do is do a system restore to a point before this started happening. alternatively u can just double click "my network places" and then click "view network connections" u will then see icons for all the dial up connections on your computer. delete the one called xxxserver

also make sure that your connection you want to use to connect to the net is set as your default connection
this can be done in internet options in control pannel

Download adware and Spybot and scan your computer. It'll detect hidden things, and things such as the xxxdialer and will give you the opportunity to delete them.
