stopITnow! Dialer Protection Software
Description
stopITnow! can prevent these attacks
Modem hijacking begins when you download and execute a malicious dialer program. When a dialer program is running, it will dial expensive toll lines with your modem. Some websites will have you believe you are downloading a harmless utility, application, or service.
Some hijacking applications are invisible to users, and run quietly in the background so that you do not notice any disruptions. Firewalls cannot stop the downloading or installing of dialers, nor do anti-virus applications recognize these potential threats.
Phone companies cannot tell the difference between a call placed by you or a malicious computer application. You will still be billed all the charges incurred. These fees can be very expensive. Phone company contracts hold you liable for these unwanted calls.
