Yahoo Bot question...

when i go into yahoo chat, i get blasted with crytic messages around a url. there are hundreds if not thousands of these bots.

here is one:
aviva_kaleah805 (8/5/2005 6:47:07 PM): 34k2ak4vf0se5 <http://goqr41.funpretty.com:101446226j

now when doing a whois on these domains, it always shows up as the same guy (as far as i have checked) in israel:
azam, sela [email protected]
nehe hams 67/3
gaza, il 74656
IL
972544765334

i chatted with an irc guru and he told me that this bots are viruses running off infected computers around the world.

is this so? i find that hard to believe that a virus could be configured with a ever-changing yahoo chat protocal. furthermore, be able to run a chat client on the hosts side no matter how basic.

any ideas? myst?
