SwitchDialer
Title: SwitchDialer
Also Known as: Dialer.Switchdialer.b, Switch Dialer
Severity scale:
SwitchDialer is a dialer that uses the modem of a compromised computer to call high-cost and international numbers in order to connect to adult-related or pornographic websites. This may be installed intentionally, or may be placed on your PC by visiting questionable websites accidentally. The charges for these calls will be placed on your telephone bill if connected.
SwitchDialer may also place additional malware on your PC, which can affect performance. Your PC may become slow, and overall operation could become sluggish. The reason for this is that malware eats up your system resources and memory, as it runs constantly in the background. To remove SwitchDialer, you may attempt to do it through the add/remove programs in your control panel, or detect related files and values in your Windows registry, then delete them.
Manual removal may cause severe damage to your computer and is not advised. To remove SwitchDialer and restore complete security to your PC, use a reputable antispyware tool such as Spyzooka, which guarantees removal of 100% of parasites, infections and other threats.
