|  IP address blocking
Is it possible to collect sites and ip addresses of known popup ads, mal-ware, spyware programs, bad stuff so we can better block these sites with our home/work hardware firewalls? The list we collect, if we do collect them, should be refreshed every month so we know we know we are blocking the sites that are unwanted. How does that sound? So far the one site that I know that has it, but does not seem to be frequently updated is -

You can stop unsolicited traffic coming in with a cheap NAT router.
For sites that are solicited (for example, third-party sites on a web page you browse to), I use IE-SPYAD which puts sites in your restricted zone. Also Spybot S&D adds sites to your hosts file.

»bluetack.co.uk/index.php do a couple of programs for doing this sort of thing. Protowall and blocklist manager.
Protowall is good cos it runs as service on the network interface which means it doesnt suck cpu processing like some other programs |

Great info guys, but I was planning to put ip address and domains onto my firewall which has site blocking. This way everything is centrally managed instead of having it on multiple computers.
