ADWARE Description:
Name:
"TIBS Dialer"

Author: (unknown)

Category: Trojan

Threat Assessment: High

Description:

TIBS Dialer is a dialer program that may hijack your modem and dial toll numbers in order to access paid pornographic Web sites.

Characteristics:
TIBS Dialer may disconnect your computer from your local Internet provider and reconnect you to the Internet using an expensive toll or international phone number. It does not spy on its intended victims, but it may accrue significant long distance phone charges. It may run in the background, hiding its presence.

Method of Infection:

TIBS Dialer is generally installed via ActiveX drive-by download. A "drive-by download" program automatically downloads itself on your computer without your knowledge or consent. Drive-by downloads can be initiated by clicking on an advertisement or visiting a Web site.

Additional Comments:

The Federal Trade Commission recommends that you dispute the charges with your telephone company and report the incident.
if you phone bill has a lot of charges to it, this bugger may have done it to you.

Spysweeper webroot.com found it for me and remove it.
