Dialers make your phone bill skyrocket
Dialers are programs that disconnect your existing internet connection and establish a new internet connection. As a result, users end up surfing for $2 per minute instead of 2 cents per minute.

How SaferSurf protects you against dialers
SaferSurf wraps every executable program in a protective layer. This protective layer sends a warning when a program or dialer is loaded from the internet and wants to install itself on your computer. SaferSurf even works if the program was supposed to install itself automatically via ActiveX. Thanks to the protective layer you now have the ability to stop the installation and delete the dangerous dialer.

Good or bad dialers?
Not all dialers are bad. Since SaferSurf does not know if a dialer is loaded on purpose or not, it does not automatically delete all dialers. However, SaferSurf gives you the guarantee that no dialer or other unwanted software is installed and executed without your consent. This protection works in spite of all security vulnerabilities in the operating system and internet browsers.

Every cover is blown!
Executable programs (including dialers) are successfully identified by SaferSurf and wrapped in a protective layer, even if the program is disguised with a false file extension. The content-related identification enables SaferSurf to recognize an executable program even if the downloaded file has the extension .txt.

No more funny business
Viruses and dialers are not only contained in .exe files. For example, screen savers are executable programs too. New viruses and modified dialers will never reach your computer unnoticed, no matter whether or not the protective program already provides a countermeasure.
