Subject: Navian Call Home
Well, folks, here's another question which is way low
tech to y'all, but baffles the heck out of me.
I had been noticing some "odd" behavior on my dial-up
connection, and then while connecting a network card I
noticed a dial up connection that I did not set up. It
has an 877 (toll free) number, and is labeled "Navian".
I found this connection last night, and deleted it. I
also googled Naviant and found out that they're a
massive direct marketing company. Apparently they must
_REALLY_ value my privacy (or what they might find out
about me that I thought was private) because the dial
up connection that I deleted last night has returned!
I found it again tonight. So, somehow Naviant has
apparently placed an .exe file on my computer and I am
pissed!!! Searching my computer for "Naviant" only
brings up the notes I typed and filed under that name
or containing that word.
Any ideas? Any help much appreciated. I use Norton
firewall and am puzzled as to how this deed was done to
me. Thanks in advance!
