A question for the group

I've been lurking awhile and I needed to post this time for help. I
believe that I have caught my computer dialing a number which I do not
want it to dial. Is such a thing even possible? More specifically, I
have several numbers for my local sign-up service, and I do not want my
computer to dial any number other than one of these. Is it possible
that I might have
unintentionally downloaded a virus which is capable of doing this? Is
any virus capable of doing this? Has anyone else ever experienced this
problem? Do I now need to build a box to defend my lame computer?
Please help!
