Chad Noble of UKIPHome is quite the web monkey. But I wonder why his "www.webcameron.info" site is currently set up to distribute the W32.Chir.B@mm email worm? The worm is executed via a pop-up window and contained with the file "www.webcameron.info/readme.eml"
I strongly advise that no one visits the WebCameron.info spoof site without either using a proper operating system like Linux, or running a full and updated virus scanner.
It should be noted that it is entirely possible the site has been compromised, but only Chad can confirm that. Is politics online getting dirtier and dirtier?
NOTE: I have a copy of the worm for reference but I am not going to post it online, nor am I going to create working links for people to click on.

I'm having problems with Iain Dales site.
After a few minutes (or if i move into comments and back again) Iit gets aborted.
It's not happening anywhere else.
Would this be a bug/worm thingie?
I can't stay on long enough to email Iain. Will you do soplease?

I've experienced the same on Iain's blog for about a week. A pop up opens saying internet explorer cannot open the page and the operation has been aborted. For some reason it doesn't happen if you access his blog via one of the inside pages (as opposed to the index page).
I get the same, could it be a case of 'New Labour - New Worms'????
No, Chad has been hacked. Iain's problem is different and I'm trying to figure it out.
if you get the main page and you click on comments and they never appear ,try alt + tab
Yep, hacked. All drives have had to be removed and all data reinstalled.
Fortunately it only affected some .html files, as almost all sites on the server run off asp.
Still, not as bad as the time a few years ago when they hacked in an loaded the server as a movie distribution port causing me a $2,500 excess bandwidth charge for the month.
