    Some dialers are used for "legit" purposes, meaning that a user knowningly accepts the charges in exchange for some "online content". But many times we have seen dialers used in sneaky ways, using various tricks to get it installed on a users machine, without them knowing what it going on.

    In general, if a dialer is detected on your system, you either know why and how it got there or it sneaked in illegally.
