XP keeps trying to dial out

Hi all,

I'm assuming I have been the victim of some piece of scumware. Sometimes, particularly when looking at an email with active content, the computer attempts to connect the modem. Now, I have broadband and have disconnected the phone line, so it always fails... but I would like to kill it.

It says it is trying to connect with "SVcamera", which I can't find any reference to in device manager. I do have a webcam but it isn't called that.

Any ideas on where to start? AdAware can't find it.
