Can anyone point me to safe site(s) that list bad unsafe sites?

You may find the following of use. Have a thorough read of the site first, in order to familiarize yourself with the benefits: -

For Internet Explorer: -

For Firefox: -

Also, have a thorough read of the following link (MVPS Hosts File) and use it. It is frequently updated: -

Thanks a bunch!

why do you want to know these? are you planning to splat hyperlinks to them on internet forums?

@ Zee - You're welcome.

@ Strix - Considering how big the Internet is, that would be 'Mission Impossible', IMO. :P Zee more than likely just wants to steer clear of them like the majority of folk want to.

You're welcome, Zee. The MVPS Hosts site is extremely good, IMO. I wouldn't be without it, personally.
