    I keep getting window that says Avast has found a Win32 Trojan Dialer or something like that. When i click on delete it doesnt give me anyother problme but they just keep poping up. What are dialers? Are they dangerous?

    Hi BM

    Dialers generally aim you towards porn sites and also try to use your connection to do illegal things...

    I have a hunch that a website or P2P site you are frequenting is giving you this trojan dialer, BTW what is the location its found in?
