High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XXXDial is a spyware/dialer application which created a number of problems for UK internet users in December 2004. It changes a victim's PPP settings so that it automatically tries to reconnect to a premium rate number, as opposed to a user's normal dial-in number. It has been noted that the dialer does not give any indication to the user that they are using anything different from their standard ISP's number while they are actually being charged a rate up to 200 times their normal dialup rate. The dialer is found "in the wild" on websites and with software that are often adult in nature. This dialer only appears to affect computers running Microsoft Windows. Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on computers and collects little bits of information at a time about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer.
