I'm using win2k with a cable modem. I still have a dialup modem in my
box.

I keep getting this error popping up: "no modem found." Apparently,
something is trying to access my dialup modem, maybe trying to make an
international call or something?

I run symantec AV, I also have zonealarm, ad-adaware, and spybot,
running. I was hit hard with some adware/spyware thing a few weeks
back, I keep trying to delete it, but it keeps coming back. I keep
getting "CoolWebSites" or something like that in my registry.

Anybody have any ideas?
