Rogue Software Sites Offline?

Is it just me or some Rogue Software/Fake Codec distribution sites are currently offline?

Rogue sites off line.

That's exactly how we like them. ;-)

They get reported fairly fast.

People who have up-to-date hosts files, or other malware blockers will simply not see these sites, or will be warned off.

It should be noted that

It should be noted that these sites go up and down like a yoyo, so whilst they may be down one day, it's normally guaranteed they'll be back online within 2-3 days or so (it's rare that they stay down).

Yea...

Well, just incase, I have rated some of them Malicious, but to not cause confusion or false positives, I have sent a mail to the MyWOT staff and told them that some sites that I have rated Malicious is in Offline.

For the good though, I hope they stay offline for the safety of everyone.
