i recently found one of these on my pc,
i need some info on

trojan.8 dialer.

it was on my pc

does it ALWAYS stay dialed up everytime on online-how much does it charge, and how nasty is it

its removed now

sorry, couldn't find that virus in my database, and my knowledge of dialers is limited, but my guess is it would dial up to a number in the states where you have to pay per minute?

Im english.

i god rid of it, but im worriued
if its charged money im banned from the pc


Shit

I'm not sure how it can charge you if you are not on dial up

well say if it downloaded itself when im on the net.

and then i disconnect
and reconnect later on

does it still charge?

I did a quick research, the only thing I got is it's dialing a high-cost number using a modem

High cost

SHIT

Thank god for broadband, then they can shuve their dialers where the sun don't shine.

Anywayz I like yerss have a limited knowledge of dialers but I always thought they didn't work until you really told them too. they just installed themselves.

it costed as if you phoned a pay-phone (teleaudio)
it is veeeeery expensive

pooor ya

Its a trojan (OH! ) most likely introduced by Kazaa program... install a firewall or give up peer-to-peer...

well i need to know about this one.

IF it dialed up without me saying anything.

and yeah i used kazaa-not anymore though *throws away*

i have a firewall didnt work lol

Serisouly i need info on this little git!

Here- i searched my results for past virus tests

and heres what it is

well, I guess it didn't do much damage yet? and I still don't know how they can phone up a number if you don't surf on the telephone line (I mean, how can they charge it to a phonenumber if you're not on it?)

i use a modem
it takes up the phoneline

i only come on at offpeak hours

if it charged it will show up on phone bill, it wont do any damage before then
until my parents see the money they owe

but you got rid of it, so it's all well now

it is changing the number which you r using to connect to net.

Do you have dialup? If you do, might want to check the charges... if you have broadband, can't do crap to ya

Thank you Broadband

yeah i got rid of it yerss

But if it charged, im going to cry

well, are you sure it actually did dial a number?

but it gives you many other viruses.

well, it looks like the little bugger is gone. Rin and a-v every week and u'll be dandy

Yerss no, im not sure it dialed, the number i dial up to the inteernet with has never changed
and there was never a number changed on my 'connections'

so i dont know if it did dial or not.

i was just asking wether any of you guys knew if they automatically dialed up?

best thing you can do is ask Raz

But i always Pm raz whenever i have a pc problem
which is quite often---i doubt that he can still be bothered to reply no_2

I have no idea how dialers work, but I'm guessing there are two types. One that automactially dial themselves and others where you have to manually do it.

Which one you got? no idea. Try searching Google.

it cant find anything

if it didn't change your conecting number there is nothing to worry about.

Clovie to the rescue

Thank you clovie
and yerss thanks for looking into it again
and thanks raz for trying to help even though you were clueless

I've never had a problem
Plus my computer is completely secure

when I had dial-up, I never had problems. When I got DSL, my comp was virus central. Of course, we didn't have a good firewall. That could be the problem

I have all types of protection, firewalls, virus scans, privacy filter, and spam protection and such

noce to know you lot use protection

that's why this section is here... to help out

your welcome


i have dial-up and i have no problem with viruses..
i only once have a problem with hacker..
and if i knew who he is i'd kill him.
(i do know that guy lives somewhere near me and it makes it even more annoying )

If you follow the instructions posted here: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f13/t296008.html

Your computer will be secure.

@ yerss yeah but you could just ignore people

You should have scanned his IP and hunted the git down

actually, it's not that easy, some servers change IPs every time, so you can't get much out of it

it is more complicated.
i have kind of inside-network.. and everyone here has same ip.
i may be using 10 or even a hundret different comps and it will still be same number.

and i already got rid of that i change some options in firewall and now everything is great

thats a lil dangerous dont ya think
because what if sombody near you joined up there
and tis the same IP

Well if you get banned for socking if that happens i will point this post out

I get tons of dialers installed on my comp all the time.
Never a Trojan8.dialer...but I wouldn't worry about it; I have dial-up and none of the viruses have ever dialed any long distance calls or such.

tex.. you get those from visiting porn-sites... having a bad sex-life?

non-existant is more the word

exacly...

joking of course

Kazaa=all virus all the time

go with WinMX
