First step, complain to the website where the dialer was installed.

Second step, do get a firewall, ZoneAlarm Pro is very, very good.

You are right in that it will affect all your outgoing software, but you can set certain apps to "always allow" or "always deny", and unknown apps to either "always deny", or "query" (asks you if you want it to get through).

ZoneAlarm has a database in it's control panel that allows you to customize it's settings, whether or not a certain app can be a server or just a client for example.
