Generic Dialer is (not a virus) what is agreed as a PuP (potentially unwanted program).. and you usually inevitability to configure your antivirus program to look for these.

Hopefully, you are using antivirus from a reliable supplier similar to McAfee, properly configured, and automatically updating...

OK this is why I other make a payment the "properly configured" to the above... and here is the directions from McAfee on how to configure mcafee to check for and remove PuPs

The piece in the order of PuP's is that a dialer is not a spiteful program resembling a virus, worm, or trojan.. but if misused as this is to dial expensive porn sites.. later it is a angelic program used surrounded by a doomed to failure track... the certainty that you be somehow tricked into downloading and isntalling it is irrelevant to your antivirus scanner...
I other bring PuP warning for financial guarantee tools I use, close to password crackers...


Here is what the McAfee threat center say give or take a few this dialer:

Porn Dialers are applications which make a contribution the user access to a record of long-distance phone numbers for use near a pornographic "service".

These applications may show a fanlight upon anyone run initially which will prompt the user whether or not to verbs and install or use the modem to dial the long-distance phone numbers. If this pane does not appear initially, it will largely appear after a system is restarted, if the porn dialer copies itself to a startup location. These window roughly point pictures of scantily clad women, which may appear unexpectedly once a system is restarted.

Even if the user chooses not to verbs, system change may still be made:

Files may be copied locally

This is usually to a "Program Files" sub-folder near a nickname base upon the designation of the company whose "service" is human being used
Files may be referenced surrounded by startup locations
These reference may be surrounded by places such as Startup folders or surrounded by the registry Run keys
Shortcuts may be created on the Start menu or on the desktop
Additional registry keys concerning the dialer application may also be added

The detection of this type of profile is not automatically activate.
Users who would resembling to check for the presence of this features of files on their system should run the command flash scanner near the /PROGRAM switch.
