Hmm. I've never heard of drweb.com before, and there's no instructions on how to detect the worm, but they want to sell me anti-virus software.

This might be legit, but I'll wait and see if this appears anywhere else before I trust it as being valid.

Yes, I was a little suspicious myself, although looking at their wikipedia page it does seem to be a genuine company.

Also, more info here seems to support the fact that they are the real deal:

(as usual with wikipedia, you should check the original sources to verify).
