-- Posted by TheWeatherGirl at 2:34 pm on June 28, 2008 Ok so I was doing a virus scan on a frinds laptop and something called BTDialler was found as a PUP. I'm almost sure this is a program for using the victims internet, my question is, if the laptop is running off a wireless internet connection but isn't turned on, can that program still use the victims internet connection? -- Posted by heaaatherlynn at 2:35 pm on June 28, 2008 Just rub some mayonnaise on it and then stick it in the fridge for about an hour and it should be fine... -- Posted by TheWeatherGirl at 2:37 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from heaaatherlynn at 10:35 pm on June 28, 2008 Just rub some mayonnaise on it and then stick it in the fridge for about an hour and it should be fine...

My grandfather gets computer magazines each month and that was in there. The fat content in the mayonnaise is strong enough to remove computer virus'. If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that. -- Posted by Dead Eyes at 6:17 am on June 29, 2008 Quote: from heaaatherlynn at 2:41 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from TheWeatherGirl at 2:37 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from heaaatherlynn at 10:35 pm on June 28, 2008 Just rub some mayonnaise on it and then stick it in the fridge for about an hour and it should be fine...    I forgot to mention to all the fucking spammers out there-DON'T reply unless you have a helpful answer and know what you're actually talking about.

If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that. Well you are an annoying asshole aren't you. Anyways does this program seem to be messing up your friends computer? If not I suggest you leave the file alone.. It could just be the file the computer uses to connect to the internet. Best thing to do if you don't know what a file is, is to do some research. Don't just go deleting random files making half-assed assumptions assuming there are viruses. -- Posted by TheWeatherGirl at 6:31 pm on June 29, 2008 My reason for being suspicious was just the fact that it came up (after a virus scan AVG 8.0) as a PUP. I shall do more research on the matter.. -- Posted by Dead Eyes at 7:56 am on July 2, 2008 AVG is crap. I suggest you remove AVG from your machine immediately and download a program like www .comodo. com or http ://www.agnitum. com/products/outpost/ both of those are very good programs. AVG gives exaggerated reports. P.S Cant be assed to verify my email, just go to google and type in "comodo" "outpost firewall". -- Posted by matto at 1:48 pm on July 2, 2008 Quote: from TheWeatherGirl at 2:34 pm on June 28, 2008 Ok so I was doing a virus scan on a frinds laptop and something called BTDialler was found as a PUP.

I believe not.  I think it uses a modem, hence dialer.  I'd recommend searching your computer to see where the "PUP" is located, it's possibly part of a program and could very well be legit.
