Can I stop modem hijacking if I remove password from dialup connection dialogue box?

I unknowningly downloaded an internet dialup software that takes over my modem and dialed out to 1-900 and racked up my phone bill. Does anyone know if the software uses the dialogue box to dial out or does it bypass it altogether? I know that I can prevent it by unplugging my phone line but it sure is a pain to do this all the time.
