Guys,
Recently, my computer dials up by itself. Even after I close the dial-up connection window, it pops out again and connects to provider automatically. There is also freaking "intelligent desktop" coming out. All this happened after I installed yahoo ad-destroyer soft. After that, hundreds of pop-up windows invaded my screen!!! I tried to uninstall all this suspicious crapware, but failed. Then I just physically deleted folders from the system. But problem still remains
What would be ur advice?

Try downloading Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy - you can find them on Google. They're free. Make sure you update the definitions before you run them, so they get all the newest crap.

Nasty piece of crap, which doesn't want to be uninstalled. They've also tied Spybot and doxdesk up in legal knots. ( we're not really spyware.)
They're just crapware. In this case try Ad-Aware.
It's available from www.lavasoftusa.com
