It just went live: »adblockplus.org/blog/blocking-ma···ock-plus This filter can be downloaded from the filter subscription page: »adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions (its towards the bottom). Below are some excerpts from the article: quote: So now Adblock Plus users can add a subscription with slightly over 40000 filters that will block access to the known malicious domains. It is the first time I tried Adblock Plus with so many filters, and the good news is: the slowdown during browsing is in the area of single-digit millisecond numbers, that's not noticeable. The bad news: loading/saving the list still takes a while (noticeable as browser startup/shutdown delay). In Firefox 2 this took around 20 seconds which is why I recommend against using this subscription there. The big surprise was Firefox 3, there the delay is only 3-4 seconds. Congratulations to everybody who helped optimizing JavaScript, the results are really incredible! PLEASE NOTE: quote: WARNING: Do NOT subscribe to this list with Firefox 2! It will only be sufficiently fast in Firefox 3, and even then you have to accept 3-4 seconds delay at browser startup and shutdown. It won’t cause noticeable delays during browsing however. Emphasis is mine. This filter is maintained by the folks over at »www.malwaredomains.com all we're doing is converting it to a format ABP can understand. Thanks to Wladimir for providing the script which downloads it and coverts it. Also big thanks for helping working out the bugs.

If it saves even a few users from badware exploits, then it has done its job ps: And it couldn't have been hosted on a better domain (lanik.us ... aka the EasyList Forum) -- EasyList filter subscriptions for Adblock Plus
