On 110mb.com/forum a new registrar http://www.internet.bs was recommended by a poster. I looked it up and found the prices very good. So I registered one. Directing it to the name server of my site at 110mb.com didn't work. I asked them via email whether my settings were correct; they replied "yes!". Still doesn't work. So I reset it back to their own name servers to get a redirect working. That doesn't work either.

But my anti-spyware program found out, that this enters my Personal Folder in Outlook every time my newly registered domain with them is called up:

Worm.Alcra.F (W32.Alcra.F [Symantec]
P2P-Worm.Win32.VB.dw [Kaspersky]
W32/Rbot-FVY [Sophos]
Win32.Worm.VB.DW [BitDefender]
Trj/Gaodrop.A [Panda])

I have written them another email about this, but didn't get an answer yet.

Any suggestions how to deal with them?

Best to use Name Cheap for all your domain needs http://www.namecheap.com/ They are cheap, provide 24/7 customer service and their interface is user friendly and is lightening fast

Are you saying that they maybe phishing info or is it some technical issue with their site? Hopefully our resident Geek (just joking) Spunner will have some suggestions about this

What is cheap about them? Their prices are very high!

I have good experiences with http://www.name.com. At least 30 % cheaper than namecheap.com plus Google Apps pre-installed.

It might be an outside attack on their company by a competitor.

The description of the worm is this on Spyware Doctor:

Description: Worm.Alcra.F is a worm that attempts to propagate by copying itself into shared folders used by popular peer-to-peer applications. It will also attempt to disable access to common Windows tools by dropping a *.com equivalent into the system directory, for example regedit.com.

Sorry, I'm not much help at this end - I'm more of a hands-on, computer configuration nerd. (Yes, nerd not geek)

But I would have thought you would have recommended http://www.golden-domains.net/ Mr. CB?

Just went there - we're not doing domain registration anymore? Who are my sites registered with, now? Enquiring minds want to know!
