BT Privacy Online

BT Privacy Online - help protect your computer from dial-up fraud.

Free protection from dial-up fraud

If you connect to the Internet through a dial-up modem, you may unknowingly download a rogue 'dialler' - a software program that changes the way you connect to the Internet.

This could result in your dial-up number being changed to an international or Premium Rate number, giving you higher than normal phone bills.

BT Privacy Online helps protect your computer against rogue diallers while you are using your dial-up connection.

Free BT Privacy Online gives you:

  • Modem protection software to help keep your modem safe from rogue diallers
  • SMS text message alerts to let you know if there has been any unusual activity on your account

The BT Privacy Online software* will automatically launch each time you start your computer. It will monitor your Internet dial-up connection and alert you when unauthorised users attempt to dial restricted numbers.


*If you are using BT ICM (interconnect Connection Manager) Version 6.0 you do not need to install BT Privacy Online modem protection software as it works in a similar way and will already provide good protection.
