All of those sites are clean. I wouldn't post infected sites. You just need to be careful about what you click on the sites is all. The IP's are mostly to phishing sites or sites that may host malware. They are very informative for tracing and reporting spammers.

I appreciate your concern but Project Honey Pot and hpHosts are very safe sites. I am a project Honey Pot member and know Steve who is a major contributor to hpHosts and many other anti-phishing/spamming projects around the internet. Without those two sites alone spam would be much worse today then it is now. Steve has enough connections that he has many web sites that host malware taken off line within hours of them being reported. If your serious about anti-phishing/spam then these are the sites and people you need to get familiar with.

Read the warning I gave. Look and find any information, or submit new information but don't go clicking on things without really knowing what you are doing.

Out of all the links those two are maybe the safest, along with Stop Forum Spam...

I have contacted Steve (MysteryFCM) from Ur I.T. Mate Group. Hopefully he will shed some light on that issue.

What antivirus, firewall and browser are you using and do you know what's blocking the web site?

Also you are using this link right? http://hosts-file.net/
