CommonName Description:
CommonName contains search engine. After you entering keywords, it will redirect your IE browser to their customer's website. Now, the software has
become a complicated
search-hijacker and adware, aggressively bundled
with many third-party apps.
CommonName/Toolbar : installs an IE toolbar
with a keyword lookup box.
CommonName/Agent : takes over searches entered
into the standard IE address bar (by means of an
IE Browser Helper Object), and pops up ads
occasionally.
CommonName/Mib : version 3.6.0.0 onwards also
includes a WinSock2 Layered Service Provider,
CNMib.dll.
CommonName/Zenet : version 3.6.2.0 onwards
also has its BHO re-register itself periodically,
to make it hard to remove manually.
CommonName/Winnet : version 4.0.0.0 onwards
also has a separate updating process, which
re-registers itself constantly, to make it even
harder to remove manually.
CommonName/Comwiz : later 4.x versions use two
restarting processes instead of one. In a trick
learned from virus authors, if one process is
killed the other one starts it back up again.
However the LSP seems no longer to be in use.
Also known as: CNBabeIE after the file
name used. CommonName/Toolbar is known internally
as BabeIE , CommonName/Agent and Mib as BabeIE2.
