You might have heard of the dialer scam where your modem is programmed to dial a premium rate number at £1.50 a min.
We have developed some software to stop this happening. It also provides parental controls and lots lots more.

anyone used this?
is it free, i could see no mention on website0 -
I have no problems finding it(left side on site) but I am unlikely to use it as it duplicates all that I currently have. This is not to say its no good or anything else, just happy with what I've got. I'll be interested to here if it works for others.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

BT have released some free software that alerts you any time your computer attempts to dial a premium rate, international or non-approved number. Full details here:
https://www.btni.co.uk/prdialler/and https://www.bt.com/modemprotection
It is being launched in Northern Ireland to start with, so the BT website asks for an NI number in order for you to download the software.
If you don't have an NI phone number try here:

Here is the FAQ for it http://www.btni.co.uk/prdialler/faq.html It requires XP SP2 to work.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
