Good news is I resolved the I managed to resolve the dial-up dialogue box by going into IE Tools...Internet Options...Click the Connections tab and select the "Never Dial A Connection" radio button.

Here is the RegSrch entry output:

When I ran the BitDefender scan overnight, I also still received the following:

C:\Program Files\AIM\Sysfiles\WxBug.EXE=>wise0008 Detected with:
Adware.Wheaterbug.A

Do you know how I can disinfect (or remove if possible) the WxBug.EXE? Thanks.
