Mostrar Dialer

Overview

Mostrar Dialer is a dialer used by some Spanish sites. Seems to be related to pornography. Possibly bundled with mp3 related software. The dialer uses a "URLSearchHook" to monitor the data entered in the address bar, using a msapasrc.dll as its filename. Notice small difference between this and the legitimate msapsspc.dll file from Microsoft.

A pop-up or icon saying, conectar con el dialer de prueba, is a clear sign of infection.
