Dialer

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.
