I have a dialer!!!

[worried]

hi all,

I'm really worried at the moment. I have a dialer. Last night I was searching and downloaded something which then automatically started calling some one. I pulled my internet cord out, so the full dial couldn't be made. I shut my computer down and came back on today to find that my default internet connections had been changed to some different dial up number. I deleted it, and replaced it with mine, but then if I reboot, it happens again.

I have downloaded spybot, ad-aware, Hijack this AND spyware blaster, and it seems like ive deleted everything I can, but then when I re-did my spybot scan, at the bottom I saw all these "XX dialer" "tango dialer" "ring ring" etc. type of things, but yet spybot says "congratulations! No immediate threats were found."

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! And I am freaking out. Please please help me!!!!

Worried.

When you see those things flash by next to Running botcheck at the bottom of spybot during a scan,it doesn't mean those things are on your computer,it's just what spybot is checking for.
