While browsing the internet I am sometimes faced with an attempt to get me to use
a webdialler. It is difficult to get rid of these pests and in any event my web connection
is normally broken whenever I try to do so. Do you have any suggestions for dealing
with webdiallers ? How do they operate - if one uses one by mistake does it set
up a heavy premium rate telephone charge, for instance ?

Dialler programs are generally bad news....use a good anti-virus and firewall...theyre
not usually hard to get rid of and yes, your telephone bill can skyrocket if not
deleted...
