Hello all, I hope I am posting this in the correct area and it is not something redundant. On december 9 2005 at 11:57 PM my pc was infected with spyaxe and the wonderful people here helped me get rid of it thru this thread..... http://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5651 Recently I received my Quest phone bill, and it had a $40 charge for a 2 minute call at 11:59 PM Dec 9th 2005 to a 900 number, which was [removed] to Atlantic Management. I did not make the call from my phone but spyaxe did make it thru my modem while I was connected via comcast. Quest said they only bill for a company called Integretel 900 Service and have nothing to do with the charge. I contacted Integretel and they sent the following email, Dear Beth **********, I received your inquiry in which you are disputing a charge on your local telephone statement. After reviewing your account I show we are billing on behalf of Information Service 900. Our records show on (12/09/05), at (11:59P), a direct dial

Wow that sucks big time.

Guess you can not password protect your fax? That is so they only way it can connect via the modem if the correct pw is given?
