Spyware Information: Aconti
This application is a telephone dialer. It can use your modem to make a telephone call. While some dialers are beneficial (they are supplied by your Internet Service Provider to allow Internet access), others will try to make toll telephone calls and possibly place '911' emergency calls without your permission.

Research
- Method of infection: Aconti must be manually installed. This usually happens when a spyware downloader installs it.
- Privacy policy: None found.
- Security issues: Aconti dials high-rate pornography phone numbers. It provides an uninstaller, but the uninstaller only stops the dialer from running automatically; it does not remove it.
