Although you are using a broadband connection, if you still have a dialup modem connected to a phoneline the rogue dialler will use that connection to dial out; the fact that you have broadband does not automatically mean that rogue diallers will not affect you (and your phone bill).

Have a look at the back of your PC and see if there is a card with what looks like normal telephone cable attached to the back of it.
Also, right mouse click on my computer, select properties, hardware, device manager and look for an entry for a modem, this will be a category by itself or under network adapters.
If present, right mouse click on it and select disable.
