Ok, here's the beef. A friend and I are having this debate. We both have linux machines which are logging all these attempts to infect our machine from neighboring machines (who's owner's weren't savvy or smart enough to avoid infection, or were just a day late)
Is it unethical to offer removal services to these poor saps for a fee?
I say no, its not.
His argument is, they might thing you're the one that infected their machine in the first place.
While his argument might have a valid point (somewhere), if I am offering legitimate services, and can prove that my machine is being attacked by their machines, what is wrong with getting paid to help these people clean their machines? Someone explain this to me.

you're such a moron. clownpenis is not registered with them, its registered with register.com Registrar: REGISTER.COM, INC. Organization: only music address: 170 bunnell st winsted , CT 06098 US In Verio's defense, the whois.net website is aspiring to be a centralized location where you can register a domain name AND research a trademark for that name. Now, one could easily deduce "If we want to be a trademark research site, shouldn't we have our site trademarked?" All this verio bashing sounds awfully familiar. As if you guys dont have enough microsoft bashing to keep you busy.
It's amazing how stupid these people are. They think by suspending, expelling, removing the website, etc makes the problem go away? Whatever happened to communicating with the troubled person and find out what is really going on? Maybe if parents, school administrators, pastors and preachers gave a damn about the students under their care, things like columbine might not happen. The issue really is "we dont have the time or money to pay attention to your problems so go away" This is a really sad situation. Only to worsen.
