Trojan virus eyes porn surfers

2005-09-08 11:31

New York - A new Trojan computer program is making the rounds, but it's not out to steal credit card numbers.

The "Cager.a" Trojan monitors access to porn websites and then displays a quote from the Qu'ran chastising the web user for his or her sins, Information Week reports.

The program watches which sites Windows users visit by examining the browser's title bar.

If the Trojan sees a word in its list - such as "teen", "xxx", "sex", or "penis" - it minimises the window and displays a purported Islamic verse: "Yusufali: Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah, and ask forgiveness for they fault, and for the men and women who believe: for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye dwell in your homes."

A Trojan is similar to a computer virus but doesn't replicate itself.
