 ALERT - Special Dialers & "Modem Hijacking"
 
 If you are visiting a web site that requires you to download a file or special
 viewer to access the Web site's content, please exercise caution. While
 occasionally this may be a legitimate request, it can result in something
 known as "modem hijacking".
 
 This can occur when you visit certain Web sites. A pop-up window
 appears prompting you to download a file (often stating that a special
 viewer or special dialer is required to view the page). The pop-up box
 contains detailed 'Terms & Conditions'. Once you accept these Terms &
 Conditions (by pressing 'ok', 'I accept' or potentially an "X"), a file will be
 downloaded onto your computer. The file can then use your dial-up
 modem to connect to phone numbers in foreign countries such as Sao
 Tome or Nauru. This can lead to unexpected long distance charges.
 
 Please note - The customer is responsible for charges associated with
 these calls.
 
 Read all disclaimers and Terms & Conditions carefully. Ensure
 that you fully understand the terms before continuing.
 Do not download any files unless you are certain of its legitimacy.
