The malware program called Central24 is a dialer that is used to communicate with certain internet sites. It hijacks the modem of a computer and causes it to dial an expensive phone number to retrieve the unsolicited content. The Central24 program then places shortcuts to pornographic content on the computer desktop and within the start-up menu. The program may also implement icons on the desktop.

The Central24 dialer has no defense against a good anti-spyware program, however, so it behooves computer users to be aware of some of the best options available. For example; ZookaWare PC Cleaner, a product from ZookaWare, is guaranteed effective against these types of malware.
