is there anywhere to avoid on the net?

i am aware that net nasties lurk on adult websites and p2ps but is there anywhere else to avoid on the net?

Whysat? Are you trying to protect your kids? Usenet groups are pretty bad. So I hear.

the arsenal website is avoided in my house...

o i think you mean exploits and virii. Be careful with driver download sites and lyrics sites.

[tali122]

yes i meant virii and the like- what is wrong with lyric sites?

[MargeB]

Well, I think it works like this..

1. LOTS of people want to check lyrics

2. It is DEAD easy to set up a site, just copy all the lyrics from someone else

So...cheap and much traffic...just put an exploit on the site, and you can stuff pcs full of whatever you want.

I guess this is why. The sites are full of bad stuff. As are driver pages
