Hi,
I have found this website http://www.btmodemprotection.com from BT, basically the software will alert you that you have a possible virus that is trying to dial-up a premium rate 090 number from your PC which could land you with a telephone bill in the £00's.
Please note that it only works on Windows XP & 2000 but BT are releasing new software during May that is currently on trial, but this software is a good stop gap in the meantime.
