It sound slike spyware, or malware of some sort trying to "phone home":
First, click on either of the links below and run the free online scans that they provide. PPanda is slower than Housecall but does a good job.):
HOusecall Online Scanner
Panda Online Scanner
Next, download the free spyware removal tools from the links below. Install Spybot and Ad-Aware, update them from withing the user interface, then run them. Delete all spyware that they find.
After that, run CWShredder by double clicking on the downloaded file..
Ad-Aware 6 Spyware Removal Tool
?Spybot Search & Destroy? Spyware Removal Tool
CWShredder Hijack Removal Tool
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.

Hello! My system is Windows XP (Home). Recently, it's begun to dial-up my server whenever it feels like it - being pestered every 3 seconds, (during Solitaire)
is crazy-making..
Any ideas? Thank you.
