re: Trojan Horse Phone Dialler Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 2:01 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ogg (274 messages posted) I recently spent a lot of time removing a similar "dialer" from a friend's computer. It was something called HotAction_ca. It also seemed to work in conjunction with something called "Dluca". I used Ad-Aware to identify them. HotAction was very clever; it would replicate itself into different versions as I tried to delete it. HotAction/Dluca were responsible for dialing out to some small island community near Australia, but the "service" was UK-based. The phone bills had already reached $700 in the following bill before any of this was detected.
