containing adult material.Dial/Top69-A is a premium rate dialler application for accessing sites
containing adult material.

Upon execution the dialler terminates any current dialup connections, such as
a connection to the default Internet service provider and then dials a premium
rate number without any notification that it is about to do so.

Once a connection has been established the dialler attempts to load the target
website using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The dialler does not create any changes to the system to run itself on startup,
however other installation software may do so.
