Re: Worm1800.exe on UnderNet?

[Kelly Brown <kellyb () sd us am ericsson se>]

Did you look at the website.  They straight out say...

This Site was designed to help infected IRC users to find proper
information, the author does not accept any liability for any damage, loss
of data or loss of service caused by the use or misuse of this site. Use
at your own risk.

I don't know how you can misuse a website designed to infect people...

Anyway it looks like somebody connected with nohack.net may have something
to do with it.  If you are want to follow up you may want to email
webteam () nohack net as they are referenced in the web page source
code.  Maybe they can get the web site removed...  I doubt it but you
never know.
