CNBABE.EXE and CNBABE.DLL are part of the CNBABE spyware application that
installs with the CommonName Toolbar, a browser addin for Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 and later. It is described as "The CommonName Toolbar
supercharges your Internet Explorer web browser transforming it into a
powerful navigation tool and search platform. Integrated seamlessly within
the Internet Explorer browser, it gives you easy access to CommonName's many
features while you surf the web.". Features include Common name navigation,
PowerSearch, Login Manger, Form Filler, and Online Bookmarks.
It may be found in: c:\program files\commonname\toolbar\cnbabe.dll.
This is a spyware application in that it compiles data on your browsing
habits and transmits it to any company that subscribes to the service. While
the features may sound cool, most of them exist within Microsoft Internet
Explorer (see Tools > Internet Options > Content > Autocomplete, for
example). We'd recommend removing not only this file but also
CommonName.exe, Cnbabe.exe, cnform.exe, cnbabe.dll, BabeIE.dll, and
CNBarIE.dll.
download adware and remove.
