Some of the sites are clearly malware, but there are a lot of semi-legitimate, high traffic sites on there, many of which are already whitelisted. I'm all for adding more data, but it looks like the amount of filtering may be so high it is not worth it for this source.
How would you handle the filtering? It looks like it would have to be done manually.

I never heard of this site before. Looks interesting. I am reviewing the malware list right now, however, and this is the second entry:
007arcadegames.com digitalriver www.bleedingthreats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=11 showtopic=9
I unfortunately wasn't able to pull up the web page it lists; it comes up blank in Firefox. The domain has hinky registration, probably is a malware site. But if it's hosted by Digitalriver, they're fairly legitimate. (There are considerably more spam problems there than when Al Iverson was the Abuse manager, but they're at worst light grey.)
Which probably doesn't matter when it comes to listing the domain. :) But I'd definitely send a note to the host, especially when the host is a legitimate business that would be horrified to be hosting a malware site. Hope this guy does that.
