That option change in Internet Explorer won't work. Most of these things include their own dialling software. In fact, it's holes in Internet Explorer that allow these things to get on your computer.
If you want real protection, not just from dialers but other trojans and spyware, get a firewall - www.zonealarm.com for a free one and STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER! Go to www.mozilla.org and download Firefox, also for free. It's faster, smaller, fuller-featured, more standard-compliant and safer.
