spam

[Rick Palmer]

It is a virus.  Most viruses can be blocked by having the server do a 
reverse to see if the domain exists.   (like mine) Unfortunately, 
someone thought they were doing a public service by registering the 
name and putting up a website explain it was a virus.  I talked to 
the admin about it and he was sincere and it wasn't them that did it. 
Macs and Linux aren't hurt by it as far as I can tell.
