Mcafee already detects this as a virus. as urlspoof. variant.
If you have it set to detect trojans and other variants.

I'm sure all the other virus venders detect, so we should not have to do
anything, to be protected.

Your regular expression for this one can be more specific, as you need at
least two domains the real domain and the spoof domain, and a @ and :
character.
So you could make a very specific regular expression to match this.
