Are you running Real(anything), anything that might be considered spyware (like Web3000, Gator....)

Grab AdAware and give it a spin...I have seen some of the ad based apps do such things...they will try anything to "phone home"...some of them literally.

Have you visited some ...umm...questionable sites? Some of them try to install "dialers" to log you on to...well, we won't go there..

And yeah do a virus scan...won't hurt, and it could be it.

And lastly, you aren't doing AOL, are you?

Do you have your internet settings to 'auto connect' ??

If so any running communication programs can log you back in, or, if you have Outlook Express running and have it set to check for new mail every so often and have it set to always connect.
