Questions regarding pennywize password protection. paysite owners pls reply

Hi guys,

I'm just curious as to why passwords are shut off by pennywize. More specifically, how many of the passwords that get shut off are from legitamate users? I know that AOL dial up users are counted as a subnet each time they log in and they get shut off often. I know some are brute forced too. But some people swear up and down that they never traded their passwords when it gets disabled, and I reset a new one and in a few days, there it is again, shut off. Now this wasnt such a big deal when my sites were small, but now its a pain in the ass. 2-3 hours a day resetting passwords and mailing them to members. I was thinking that spyware could play a role in this. Do you think these members could be victims of spyware and are telling me the truth, or they are lying to me. Pls let me know.
Duke
