 * In the last few hours one of my blogs (on ver 2.2) has received a 403 error thar
   is displayed for the incoming links section and the “Other WP News” section of
   the dashboard.
 * Within the last few hours I attempted to publish for the first time since the
   error appeared and received the same error. The error reads as follows:
 * > Your Internet Protocol address is listed on a blacklist of addresses involved
   > in malicious or illegal activity. See the listing below for more details on
   > specific blacklists and removal procedures.
 * Your technical support key is: 7c68-ca14-1366-73cd
 * You can use this key [to fix this problem](http://www.ioerror.us/bb2-support-key?key=7c68-ca14-1366-73cd)
   yourself.
    The link as quoted above is also part of the error page.
 * In addition, I have three other blogs on this same domain one runs ver 2.3.1 
   a second runs on 2.3.1-RC1 and a third runs on ver 2.2.
 * None of these three have experienced the same error and are operating fine and
   on the same server.
 * The server is not mine but provided via a hosting service.
    My T/S efforts have
   included performing two virus scans and two scans for spyware with no positive
   results.
 * Obviously the problem is not WP ver specific or related to the server all four
   blogs are located on as it only occurs on the single blog.
 * Has anyone had this problem before and found a solution to it?
