• Anti-Dialer protects computers against attempts to make unauthorized
modem connections.
Dialers generally establish connections with specific websites, such as
sites with pornographic material. Then you are forced to pay for
expensive traffic that you never wanted or used. If you want to exclude a
number from the blocked list, you must place it on the trusted numbers list
(see 11.1 on pg. 134).
• The Privacy Control module intercepts attempts at at unauthorized
transmission of confidential information from your computer (cf. Section
11.2, p. 136).
Confidential information includes, above all, data located in Windows
Protected Storage (local passwords, e-mail client passwords, Auto-
Complete information, etc.).
In addition, this Privacy Control module analyzes any attempt to transmit
information from your computer using a hidden process, such as a web
browser.

11.1. Creating an Anti-Dialer trusted
number list
The Anti-Dialer component monitors telephone numbers used to secretly connect
to the Internet. A connection is considered secret if it is configured not to inform
the user of the connection, or if it is a connection that you do not initialize.
