A mate has called me tonight to say they have a call on their phone bill for ?53 to 09062690373 - is there any way of finding out what the number is for? It just says Premium rate on the phone bill and calling it just gives a fax / modem tone

TIA

Jay

Sounds like your friend has had his/her connection secretly hijacked

Probably opened an email attachment thought nothing of it and was immediately infected by malware/dialer



Plenty of security Solutions at


or if you want to test your current security set-up

shields up

Thats nice but I do wonder how Fail Safe those tests really are
when you read this 8 steps to computer security



Far more than just a firewall,anti-virus & anti-spyware is needed to be completely secure
