I've never had any virus issues from my boxes at webair. IMO it tends to not be hosts in general, but rather scripts you might be running.

I know the last major outbreak of people's sites getting hacked, was because the attacker was exploiting the template files for well known scripts.

So the trick there, is to rename your template files to something that can't be guessed. For example in comus I use random generated template names. Like in4f-tgh.tpl stuff like that.

One thing I do notice and it seems true with most hosts, is they are slow at doing updates. So you should always contact your hosts and make sure you are running the latest stable versions of PHP, zend,mysql and all that kinda stuff.
