Microsoft has reached a settlement with domain provider No-IP less than two weeks after it grabbed 23 internet domain names from the Reno, Nevada company. Microsoft had filed a civil suit against the company’s parent company Vitalwerks Internet Solutions for its role in hosting malware that affected millions of PCs. The company claims Microsofts decision to file an ex parte restraining order made it impossible for the company to know about the malicious activity or to offer help in stopping it. Vitalwerk Internet Solutions later took to its blog to have a dig at Microsoft, saying it should have had its house in order long before Microsoft felt the need to get involved.”]
