Is there anyone other than the hosting company to whom to
report a malware infested site and is it worth doing so?
This morning NOD32 reported that it had quarantined a
download of Win32/Adware.Antivirus2008 to my XP system
from this (munged)URL:

hxxp://groups.google.com/group/tOWAfT/web/zonealarm-crack

Contact will be made with google.

However, the malware is hosted thanx to Directi, part of the Atrivo gang
allowing the RBN
to host malware.

Thank you for contacting Google and for the illuminating
references. I think I just became even more paranoid,
if that's possible. Ironically I was looking for opinions
on ZoneAlarm's ForceField when the "drive by" occurred.
