Dialers

Dialers are software programs which create a connection to the Internet or another computer network over analog telephones or ISDN networks. Many operating systems already contain such programs for connections through the Point-to-Point-Protocol (PPP) - most commonly used with dial-up connections.

Dialers are necessary to connect to the internet if you have a non-broadband connection, but some dialers are designed to connect to premium-rate numbers. The providers of such dialers often search for security holes on the user's computer and use them to change the computer to dial up through a "chosen" number. A victim of a dialer attack can easily get a phone-bill in $5,000-$10,000 range.
