Ads
Tracking
Malware
Social Networking

It's not difficult to figure out what they are blocking, just look at the Hosts files details.

Not exactly what you are asking, but this will do the same thing that you want. Fanboys ultimate list, an addition to.........Adblock Plus - Surf the web without annoying ads!

Thanxx for the link. These are not in Hosts format.
I am trying to use Comodo Internet Security Web Filter. Lists in Hosts format can be used in CIS. Dont know how to use lists that are not in Hosts format or is possible or not with CIS?

I tried hpHosts. Everything was fine but removing the lists takes very long time i.e more than 30 mins. Tried 3 times with the same results. Guess coz the lists is huge.
