A lot of ISPs for example in Germany reuse IP addresses and force a reconnect every 24 hours. I don't think showing me banners because the previous "owner" of the IP had a virus is going to improve the situation.
Other people share a network behind a NATed IP which is also a problem. They'd all receive a banner, check their computer and a test would come up negative.
- cm2187 12y agoGoogle wouldn't know but the ISP would know who was behind a particular IP at a specific time. They are the ones who should police their network when there are abuses.
- Xylakant 12y agoThe original proposal was that google delivers the ads. So google would have to contact my ISP who would then have to return whether or not I was using any of the given "spammy" IPs at the time that they were spammy - or my ISP would have to deliver the banner. No thanks.
