I've investigated these Malicious IP warnings that I'm now seeing a little further and it appears that some folks are on a Shared IP that is classified as a bad neighborhood. I just ran into one yesterday and there are 665 other websites that share that IP and it was blocked by my software.

I wonder if folks really understand what they are getting themselves into when hosting in this type of commodity environment. Of course shared IPs are common, I'm well aware of that. Dedicated IPs are common too. And so are Trusted Shared IPs. I think a notable percentage of topics around here that discuss loss of traffic in certain industries are due to something along these lines.
