Hi,

Recently I found that a program called WebDialer has magically appeared on the bottom right taskbar near the clock. I can turn it off via right clicking the program, however it reappears when rebooted. I have no idea where or how it came to be on my computer. Using the Windows search function (including looking in system and hidden files/folders) I am unable to locate the program???

Can someone please tell me how to find it and delete it from my system please?

Kind Regards
Hoax

when did u notice it......if you remember what day go to "search" and look for programs with a .exe extension around that day and you should be able to find it.....good luck

Thanks Eclipse1178 but that didnt work for me? I have an approximate date range (i.e it was this month) but when I performed the suggested search it brought back many .exe programs from windows/prefetch, none listing webdialer.exe. Where the hell is this program located???

Please help

Go to Start --> Run... --> type "MSCONFIG" and click OK.

In MSconfig look on the Startup tab and the Services tab and see which command is loading webdialer. Then just uncheck it.
