Haldex is a dialer that connects a compromised computer to the Internet by dialing high-cost phone numbers using a modem. It is designed to provide access to pornographic resources.

Haldex doesn't attempt to hide from the user, as it displays the system tray icon, creates a desktop shortcut and Start menu group. The threat runs on every Windows startup.
