Default dial-up dialog keeps popping up.

Does anyone know how to track the process or program that
causes a dial-up dialog to appear at random. I have a few
free apps loaded but I cannot tell which one is the
culprit or if a more sinister app has self loaded onto my
PC. I have run adaware (latest update) this identifed 3
unwanted little critters and I have removed them but I
still get unexpected dial-up prompts.

Is ther a tool that can monitor what is causing this to
happen?

Regards

Open Internet Explorer.
Click on Tools/Internet Options
Go to the Connections Tab.
Make sure "Never Dial a Connection" is chosen.
