    Question Auto Dialer

    I had a pop up come up the other day saying something like Trojan auto dialer detected scan with AVG. I did this and it reported no suspicious files found, i also have sygate personal firewall and thats it security wise, on trying to close the pop up it took about 3 go's. It wanted me to Download something but i closed the download pop up with out downloading anything, how would i be able find out if an auto dialer has been planted on my pc, my young nephew was using the pc before the pop up appeared to play Ghost Recon, im a bit worried as i have heared you can end up with a massive phone bill if you have one of thease Dialers on your PC. The pc seems to be working as normal with no changes to my internet settings or BB connection to wanadoo. Any Advice or info you can give me would be most appreciated thanks in advance.
