I found one of these today, as a matter of fact.  The spam was 
advertising an anti-spam package, of course.

The domain name is vano-soft.biz, and looking up the address, I get

Name:    vano-soft.biz
Addresses:  12.252.185.129, 131.220.108.232, 165.166.182.168, 
193.165.6.97
          12.229.122.9

A few minutes later, or from a different nameserver, I get

Name:    vano-soft.biz
Addresses:  131.220.108.232, 165.166.182.168, 193.165.6.97, 12.229.122.9
          12.252.185.129

This is a real Hydra.  If everyone on the list looked up vano-soft.biz 
and removed the trojaned boxes, would we be able to kill it?
