Type: Dialer
Risk Impact: High
File Names: cpclient.exe
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows XP
Dialer.WebDialler commonly resides in the folder %Program Files%\WebDialler, though it can be installed elsewhere.
Note: %Program Files% is a variable. The dialer locates the Windows Program Files folder (by default, this is C:\Program Files) and copies itself to that location.
During activation, Dialer.WebDialler commonly creates the value:
"cpclient.exe"="%Program Files%\WebDialler\cpclient.exe"
under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Additionally, Dialer.WebDialler also creates the registry tree
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WebDialler
If Dialer.WebDialler finds AOL installed on the system, it uses the AOL program for its dialing.
