That is very possible, but a "update" would have to be made to the bot
client to get this webserver on the box with a phishing site. So why not
just wait and do the DNS poison when the website is up and working,
instead of before...this just tells people that something is wrong.
 
It doesn't help the worm, it is just leftover junk from the Mytob - as
Joe pointed out.

	Perhaps the next phase of the virus is a phishing attack to get
people to go to a local webserver initiated by the virus to capture
login/credentials from those site ?

	Can anyone explain why this virus chooses to block ebay, amazon
and paypal?
	This seems foolish if the intention is to remain on the
compromised host un-noticed.
