Adult Content Dialer Profile
Title: Adult Content Dialer
Also Known as: Aconti, Dialer.Aconti, Anconti
Severity scale:
Adult Content Dialer was first discovered in February of 2002. It is distributed by a company called ELTIMA Software GmbH, also known as A Lifestyle GmbH, a known creator of Dialers, and it is of Italian origin.
Adult Content Dialer, like the majority of other dialers, is installed on your computer invisibly by an ActiveX drive-by download. It has also been known to be manually installed in some cases.
Adult Content Dialer attacks your computer by hijacking your computer’s dial-up modem. Secretly, it then exploits it to call premium tolled long-distance phone numbers instead of your usual ISP, racking up charges at international rates. The server is a purveyor of pornography, and Adult Content Dialer will start downloading pornographic content onto your computer. This results in ridiculously large phone bills.
Adult Content Dialer also serves as a function of other Internet parasites. Worms and Trojans such as Downloaders and Backdoors commonly use Dialers as part of their package. It serves the purpose of providing the connection to the server for them, typically by Internet Relay Chat technology. It is also bundled with other Dialers.
If you discover that you are infected with Adult Content Dialer, you should remove it with SpyZooka or risk piling up a huge phone bill.

I don’t know how did that happen but something change my dial up connection, so that my invoice to my internet provider was huge. It seems that I accessed pornographic sites, but that is impossible, because I’m the only one using that computer.
This was the second time that my invoice was so expensive, so I decided to remove this horrible virus with Spyzooka. This really helped, because Adult Content Dialer was removed and my invoice came as usually.
I kept getting pop-ups on my computer so I have ran Zone alarm anti-virus and anti-spyware and it says it has removed the spyware and there were no viruses. But then two minutes later I still get pop-ups.
When my phone bill came, I got insane. It was impossible to be mine. Someone told me it may be a virus that makes phones using my internet connection and recomend this site.
The thing is that now I have no more problems and nobody takes my money without my permission.
