    I'm only mentioning this because I received an e-mail from their database of excursion users (Which I don't actually use, go figure.)
    I knew however something was fishy (Since a message about "Free SMS messaging, just download this program" is a dead giveaway), so I decided to do a little investigation, The actual site appears to be the Excursion one which was running PHPNuke which is known for it's vunerabilities for certain exploits.

    The site had been tagged by defacers and an instance of the Spybot/Worm is infecting anyone thats dareing enough to take a look.

    I mention to those of you that might use this program, to stay clear of the site until the site managers (or what ever they are) fix their site once more, and don't download the worm if you've had e-mails from their server.
