Yes but like you said it uses an angelfire page, If you take it down the virus is stopped If it gets too succesfull bandwidth limits are exceeded. So it will never widely spread that way If someone where to include a webserver in the worm there's no single point of failure
Exactly why: A. This trojan is dead now. B. The author kept releaseing clones/varaiants with different URL's. It condusted massive spamming for itself, then died. Same thing with the next variant. As I wrote in my email, this trojan horse's success was propelled by the author releasing _new_ clones "all the time" from different URL's. It was never built to last. It was build to destroy. As to never widely spreading... It did. :/ But your points are valid for the regular "things" we see out there.
