rm /bin/poc-bbot rm /bin/sshpass rm /var/log/youcanbeclosertogod.jpg rm /var/mobile/LockBackground.jpg rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ikey.bbot.plist rm /var/lock/bbot.lock

If that doesn't do it, an alternate version of the ikee worm requires you to remove these files instead.

rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup.so rm /usr/libexec/cydia/startup-helper rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saurik.Cydia.Startup.plist

If you removed the above four files, you'll have to reinstall

Users worried about iPhone/Privacy.A will need to rely on their antivirus software to catch it on their computers (Intego's will catch it for the Mac) but it's unclear if any of the big security software companies have addressed it yet.
