Please help me remove INSTANT ACCESS aka ACCESS CONTROL aka DIALER-184
Hi,
I am plagued with a horrible spyware-virus-worm thing that has put itself deep into my computer. I think infected memory, but not really sure whats going on. Heres the deal.....
This program icon shows up on my desktop: INSTANT ACCESS but it also calls itself Access Control, and I have found it in my program files and also in windows files. When I run McAffee, it finds it and calls it Dialer-184 which has to be the same thing because its the only thing I am having problems with.
If my computer is left running idle, the program "blooms" open and the next thing I know there are 9 running programs (all Instant Access) which are openning pages on internet explorer all by itself.
I have run webroots Spy Sweeper in safemode, and it no longer finds it. When I run McAffee, it finds it and deletes it. When I go back into normal running mode, its a matter of an hour or so and it comes back again. Then Spysweeper detects it, I delete it.... a cycle I can not seem to fix. I have followed numerous threads on this subject and called several tech supports but nothing has solved it.
Does anyone know how to fix this horrible mess?
Thank you.

Zee, I couldnt get Sophos trial installed on my system.... tried everything, and will contact tech support tomorrow if I cant get something else to fix it.
r-k, I am trying your suggestion now.... I used spysweeper to un-check some suspicious startups, but that program doesnt give the option to delete like the one you suggested. I think it helped! Thanks for the quick response guys. Mucho appreciated.
Im going to wait to close this question until I am sure it is fixed, but so far so good.
