Baba worm pretends to clean up PCs
Added January 21, 2005

The latest version of the Baba worm claims to clean porn off PCs, but it's just a 'dirty trick', say antivirus experts. Antivirus companies have found a mass-mailing worm that tries to spread by fooling users into believing that they have pornographic content on their PCs.

The Baba-C worm travels by email and includes the message "Windows Evidence Checker has found XXX material on your computer", but does not actually look for porn. The email claims that a user can clear their PC of this material by running a program called "Evidence Cleaner", attached to the mail. When activated, this program runs malicious code that allows hackers access to their data.
