Default What Dangerous Hosts Should I Filter?

I was looking through limwire filter settings and i noticed you can block host. Are there any known host files that i should type in and block? Are there any known host that belong to the RIAA, MPAA, ETC...? I ask because alot of modern P2P clien such as Shareaza, KLR(Kazaa Lite), have Security sections or programs that update blocklist to filter out known threats. Thanks for any info and/or help.

Default Blocking Hosts (IP Addresses)

Masterem

My understanding is that Shareaza, KLR(Kazaa Lite), etc. have a limited built-in block list, which LW & LW Pro does not posses.

I would suggest that you download and install PeerGuardian 2 (beta 5b) available from here:

http://www.methlabs.org

It has the most comprehensive group of block lists of any utility on the internet at the moment and the lists it uses are constantly updated.

I now never use LW Pro without activating PeerGuardian 2 first, and I can guarantee that you will be surprised when you read your first PG2 log by the number and kinds of organisations that sneak into your PC when you are using LW.

Default Sounds Good.

I've heard of the program but till now i never needed to use it. Thanks for the info and the link this program looks good and will make me feel safer online. I just hope the newer ver. Shareaza fixes alot of the problems, because i been a huge fan of the program.
