Free Web Hosting a Fount of Malware

daria42 writes "It looks as if free Web space services are increasingly being used to host spyware, with Internet security firm Websense claiming more of such dodgy material was found on free hosting services during the first two weeks of July than in May and June combined. "These fraudulent, free personal Web sites have an average lifespan of two to four days, making them difficult to trace," said an executive from the company."

Maybe this would also get rid of the million's of those MySpace or Piczo type websites that plague the internet with the writings of illiterate 13 year old girls.


I have to agree, free webhosting causes a lot of the problems on the internet. People that don't know even the basics of HTML, or how to create a website shouldn't be allowed, because, afterall on an on-topic note, it is also easy hosting for malware/other dodgy 'things'.

Let's keep math books out of schools and close the freeways, because only mathematicians and NASCAR drivers have any right to numbers and cars.

So do freeways only have left turns in the US?
