Re: Dialer.gzt?

Hi Julio,

It is not that simple. Depending on the how the dialer behaves it may 
actually fall into a legal gray area where lawyers have been making some 
good money.

That is the reason why some scanners will not detect all dialers by 
default. Some scanners have flags to enable detection of this type of 
application, some just don't do it.

Unfortunately the name of a threat is of limited value as it is specific 
to one product. This can be a false positive or a threat that is only 
detected by a limited amount of scanners for several possible reasons. 
Services like www.virustotal.com can provide some help in troubleshoot 
this, but it may also help to submit the sample to several vendors and 
see how they respond.
