Ok so I was doing a virus scan on a frinds laptop and something called BTDialler was found as a PUP. I'm almost sure this is a program for using the victims internet, my question is, if the laptop is running off a wireless internet connection but isn't turned on, can that program still use the victims internet connection?

Just rub some mayonnaise on it and then stick it in the fridge for about an hour and it should be fine...

I forgot to mention to all the fucking spammers out there-DON'T reply unless you have a helpful answer and know what you're actually talking about.

That is helpful. My grandfather gets computer magazines each month and that was in there. The fat content in the mayonnaise is strong enough to remove computer virus'. If you knew anything about anything, you'd know that.

Well you are an annoying asshole aren't you.

Anyways does this program seem to be messing up your friends computer?
If not I suggest you leave the file alone..
It could just be the file the computer uses to connect to the internet.
Best thing to do if you don't know what a file is, is to do some research.
Don't just go deleting random files making half-assed assumptions assuming there are viruses.

My reason for being suspicious was just the fact that it came up (after a virus scan AVG 8.0) as a PUP. I shall do more research on the matter..

AVG is crap.
I suggest you remove AVG from your machine immediately and download a program like http://www..comodo. com or http ://www.agnitum. com/products/outpost/ both of those are very good programs.
AVG gives exaggerated reports.
P.S
Cant be assed to verify my email, just go to google and type in "comodo" "outpost firewall".

I believe not.  I think it uses a modem, hence dialer.  I'd recommend searching your computer to see where the "PUP" is located, it's possibly part of a program and could very well be legit.
