There's nothing wrong with OVH.
Most of the "Spam" does not come from OVH. But instead is from customers who did not secure their rented servers correctly.
This has nothing to do with OVH.
OVH Provide a reliable service at reasonable service. I've had servers from them activated within 30 minutes of ordering and fully usable before. :-).
http://WWW.OVH.NET itself, is quite ok
Domains under/behind it, controlled by many persons and organisations, could be very dangerous.
Example ns12345.ovh.net or ns54321.ovh.net are dedicated, rental server, could be rent only a month or more. Customer can get many domains under it.
Sure you can found a lot of virus, porn, tools, what ever you can dream to be nasty, but, theres a lot of good stuff, good services under it, owned and controlled separate (responsible) ppl or companies.
True is, OVH could do more for safety
Its dangerous to other OVH customers too, so easy to hack inside, example from BR
They feel confortable with malware. I personally told them about:

Hébergeur de domaines qui ne fait rien contre les spammeurs, les plaintes sur abuse@ovh.net restées lettre morte, il faudrait carrément fermer cet hébergeur.
Je reçois 3 SPAMS par jour,et TOUT les jours 7j/7 sans aucun répit, toutes de l'IP 188.165.46.136 qu'héberge OVH.net!!!!!
Et pourtant je ne divulgue jamais mon e-mail et je ne le transmets pas aux sites douteux et je faits bien attention à empêcher que mes données soient transmis aux partenaires commerciaux du commerce (internet ou non) auquel je transmets mes données.
Une pétition, vite!
