The self-propagating worm spreads the infection to all contacts in Yahoo! Messenger by sending a website link that loads a command file onto the user's PC and installs Safety Browser.

Can't they just shut down that website?

The spyware browser, "Safety Browser" is not in itself ilegal if it is installed with consent.

It may need to be shown that the web site is connected with the worm by a money trail etc. Even then, the worm apparently asks the user to download it...

No, the website is part of a group the promotes illegal immigration into the U.S. and Congress must debate how to handle the situation. They are thinking about putting up a firewall and then instituting fines against anyone that goes to the website.

Although some in the Senate are opposed to the firewall idea.
