Virus scammed me!!!

I just got my phone bill for last month and saw that there was a $30 long distance charge on there. We dont use the house phone for long distance so I called Sprint and asked them what the charge was for. They said that I had logged onto a site that provided a search engine by using a 1-900 number. I recalled that I had download a virus that changed my Explorer home page. I deleted all the files which took about 10 minutes. So I came to the conclusion that the virus had changed my dial-up # and started billing me. Lucky I caught it because it was charging $7 per min.

There is no way to contact the search engine company and Sprint only cut the charge by %50. First time I've ever been ripped off. How can Sprint see charges like this and still bill you?
