    Hello all, got a little bit of a problem and a question. I opened a small .zip file and it upon executing it, it came up with some information in Italian. My Italian isn’t great by no means but I ascertained that it a probably going to be harmful and so closed it down. Ten mins later it came up in Italian:

    ‘The program has terminated’

    So I thought that was the end of that. I just switched the PC on it has come up with a dialler to pornographic site costing £1.50 per minute. Currently running McAfee now, and it has found three different diallers, but my question is, is it still possible for a dialler to ‘dial up’ into the premium number on a broadband connection, or is it only possible on 56k modem or perhaps any modem? I'm on Cable Broadband by the way.

    Here is what the message says when it sporadically pops up:

    Thank in advance.
