Take the intercage ones... I've posted "proof" on here before that one of those ranges is used by a known "crook". In fact, the owner of intercage has also been implicated (but not caught yet) as being involved with a lot of spam etc. Since I know at least one range is "bad", I'd have no qualms about blocking all the other ones without doing any investigation on my part. In the bigger scheme of things, it's not worth any of my time to dig deeper, sad but true.
My purpose of posting this info was so that Webair could be pro-active and deal with this issue from both fronts. i.e. investigate sites in those ranges to see if any are in fact installing these viruses, and also so that they could respond in that thread with their own "statement".
However. If I was a customer with webair with an IP in one of those ranges, I'd be VERY concerned that webair is getting associated with this and that those ranges could get blocked by people because of that. That was just 1 post and there could be many more out there.
That site is run by one of the adware removal tool companies and I have no idea who that person is. But that's immaterial as that post/poster is just the "messenger".

I know what your saying, but this isnt really a webair issue. Granted somone may have found some cockroach who rents out a box at webair, but in the fashion that this gfy thread was created over some overreactive poster, on another board, who reccomends a huge range of ip's to be banned, it looks like someone is trying to take a shot a webair, or didnt think clearly before posting.
Webair is good hosting company. The idea, that they would somehow "ALLOW" or "NOT CARE" doesnt hold any water for me. I host there and I know better. Theres no way they would want that type of activity on their servers.
