This can be a particularly nasty piece of malware because it doesn't just attack your PC, it attacks your wallet. Dialer.Inproc.B uses the modem to place expensive calls to long-distance numbers or pay-per-minute 1-900 lines. There are many variations of dialers, each programmed to call a different phone number. This particular version is a new variant discovered in 2005. Dialer is a Trojan horse, usually secretly installed when the user gives a Web site permission to install software.
How To Tell If Dialer.Inproc.B Is On Your PC
In the worst-case scenario, a large, unexpected telephone bill could be the first indication that your PC is infected.
If infected, a PC will have files named Egcomservice2.dll and Egcomservice_1051.dll in the Windows system directory (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32, depending on the operating system).
