Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Has anyone any input to http://www.vigay.com/ ? It is giving false positives for some users and redirecting to http://antiphorm.vigay.com/index.html

I'm on Plusnet but usually connect via RIN which gives:
Quote:
Your IP address is 86.142.42.xxx, which resolves to host86-142-42-xxx.range86-142.btcentralplus.com
So I can understand why that appears to be BT.

But it is also giving the same error to users connecting via the Plusnet normal centrals. I am getting the same errors when connected to 80.229.7.xxx. I've seen another report from 84.92.150.xxx.

Plusnet has publicly stated it is having nothing to do with Phorm.

I also note that on the Dephormation website under the webmaster tools it says

01-May-08; added Brightview ranges
Brightview/Madasafish are owned by BT but operated by Plusnet and use some of the same IP ranges. They should not be included as they come under the same Plusnet policy statement. I wonder if this is the reason for the false Plusnet positives.
