The worm, named W32/Baba-C, has chosen the easiest way to spread, Emails!! Innocent users are tricked by mails sent by this worm warning them about XXX content found on their computers. Additionally, the mail talks about a so-called «Evidence Cleaner» that can effectively hide all adult content found on the user's system. Opening the attachment immediately runs malicious codes on the user's computer. The worm tries to forward itself to other email addresses in the user's address book, thus opening a backdoor for hackers to take control over the system.

Our experts at SysProtect have pointed out the following characteristics in the emails sent by this worm:

Subject: Important! XXX sites found on your computer!

Message body: Windows Evidence Checker has found XXX content on your computer. You can hide your activities with Evidence Cleaner Service. To run Evidence Cleaner, click to quick shortcut attached…………….

«While most people prefer to keep away from porn adult content infested websites, some do visit such hateful domains», said Richard Mitchell, SysProtect's Senior Technical Consultant. «In any case, all users want to keep their computers safe against XXX content. Obviously, they are lured into following the instructions suggested in the worm email. This W32/Baba-C worm is trying to play the fool around. Stay aware and do not open any unsolicited email attachment! Our suggestion is to keep your antiviral solutions up-to-date.»

Though there are only sparse reports of the worm infection around the globe currently, the worm is sure to have a huge impact if not treated immediately. A note of advice has been released by SysProtect to all PC users to effectively safeguard their systems against such worms by using a comprehensive antivirus utility like WinAntiVirus Pro 2005.

The worm W32/VBSun-A, which spreads through emails, works on the cheap trick of fooling innocent users into opening an email attachment. The wicked mail comes with an attachment called tsunami.exe, which deceives users into thinking that it gives information on how to donate to relief the victims of the Tsunami. Executing this attached file will forward the virus to all other internet users and will execute a denial-of-service attack against a German hacking website.

Emails forwarded by this worm bear the following:

Subject line: Tsunami Donation! Please help!

Message text: Please help us with your donation and view the attachment below! We need you!

Attachment name: tsunami.exe

The senior technology consultant at SysProtect Company says, «Hackers are stooping to unimaginable levels. This type of selfish trick is a subject of discredit since they turn a noteworthy cause into a matter of indecision.» He concluded saying, «All computer users should be aware of unsolicited email attachments, which pose a great security threat, and should visit the websites of legal aid organizations if they want to help victims of the natural disaster.»

The W32/VBSun-A worm is not the first of its kind to use the sentiment aroused by the Tsunami disaster to spread. Experts have detected another worm called VBS/Geven-B which spreads messages stating that the Tsunami was God's fury against the «people who did bad on Earth.» Results of a recent research have also proved that there have been lots of mails distributed by tricksters pretending to be suffering the consequences of the Tsunami disaster in an attempt to make money.

Even though the effect of the W32/VBSun worm is not severe, SysProtect Company security expert, Richard Mitchell, suggests PC users to ensure that their antivirus is up-to-date. The need of the hour is certainly a comprehensive solution like WinAntiVirus Pro 2005 that will take care of all antiviral needs.
