We have a computer at work that keeps bring up a popup menu asking if we want to connect. I have tried everywhere to stop this from happening but it just won't go away. I have checked all the settings in my email system but nothing seems to stop the menu from popping up it pops up about every 15 mins. Any ideas???
 
one option is to disable dial-on-demand....

or - scan your system for spy/ad ware - these may be trying to intiate a connection. you can find more spyware tools - faq608-3482.

good luck!

I will try this and let you know. Thanks for your help on this matter
 
It could also be a legitimate program such as anti-virus looking for updates. Numerous possibilties exist in RealPlayer/Jukebox, Quicktime, Musicmatch jukebox, and quite a few others.

Cheers,
Jim
