Threats type: Dialer

Dialer is a malicious program which "loves" expensive paid numbers and adult services. While you work in the Internet without suspecting anything wrong a dialer visits some closed porn sites or set a connection to the server of dialer host. Dialer is often described as a subtype of trojan. Dialers are usually used by hosts of porn site but thanks to their specific ways of launching many associated valid processes suffer too.


Dialer manages a remote connection by several ways:


  • Dialer can call a number and set a connection with the help of its tools,
  • Dialer can make a new remote access connection,
  • Dialer can change a real remote access connection.

    Sometimes dialers behave as malicious programs of other types like Adware, Spyware or Trojan-Downloader. Some dialers include themselves into autorun list. Some kinds of dialers even penetrate themselves into the code of foreign programs.
