Seen in the wild: "insidesecondlife"

Second Life: Perceived by some as the second coming, etc. (and Sunbelt has a big presence there). Others as a pile of hogwash. Whatever, but there�s a site called �insidesecondlife� with the different TLDs � .com, .net., .org. All are owned by a �P2P Inside�.

Registered under the notorious Esthost, an ISP that has a history of being friendly to malware vendors.

Well, the .com and .net are �splogs� � spam blogs which have a look like Digg.

Insidesecondlife dot com:

Insidesec1

Insidesecondlife dot net:

Insidesec2

But then here�s something of mild interset � the .org brings up a page for an antispyware application, ContraVirus:

Contravirus129388888

Nothing unduly alarming here, more of a curiosity (Contravirus is on the rogue list, but is not in the class of WinFixer/SpySheriff/etc.).
