Most of the time it comes from sites that have free porn, and are sites that are not well known. if i want to take it easy for 30 mins or so, i will only surf the hun and thumbzilla even then I i turn off cookies and set my broswer to high security.

If i am looking for webmaster info i only stick to places that i feel that are safe. But even then i can come unstuck like what happened to me when i reviewed a site that was posted on xnations a week or so ago. I dont like to do it, but if i find anything different with my settings, i wil just reformat the box and with the aid of norton ghost, i can be back within 40 minutes, i back up everytime i have done my work and this is placed onto a cd rw. and i will not click on links that have some java script to hide the url. I will search goofle for the url and see if this is a ture url. It might take 2 minutes to do this process, but i know that i am
not going to have to waist 40 minutes to reformat.

I write the urls onto a pad before i click and if that site does some shit, i take it to a higher level, eg, i will write a letter to abuse@ the hosting company of that domain, to the domain register company, trace a email address and write to their isp.

Some might think I go too far, but i bet alot of people are not getting that same shit happen to them. I will never know, ie can block domians so i will never go there ever again.
