Reliable list of malware websites?
I'm looking for reliable lists of evil malware websites. Anything that loads viruses, trojans, etc (excluding adult related websites) that people doing regular surfing may encounter. Also anything that intentionally creates false-positives, fake scanners that are just animated GIFs, and/or anything that threatens people in to downloading anything (essentially anything clearly not ethical). I figured out I can blank out the page (and thereby avoiding my subscribers from accidentally clicking (or their family/friends) from clicking on and accidentally downloading malware. If anyone has encountered sites that are prone to loading third party stuff or any other circumstances I'd like to have a look. Thanks!

There are a number of free phishing resources out there, PhishTank is one that comes to mind (Google has one too).
However, there's no substitute for user education and constant vigilance!

Any list of malware websites is going to be terribly incomplete... Even google which has started a fairly thorough program of warning users clicking on search results when the directed page might contain malware, is horridly wrong a large percentage of the time. (Both with occasional false positives, but also allowing un-warned access to malware-ridden pages).
Why do you want a list of malware sites anyways?

It's like they assume that if it's possibly illegal or related to hacking that it is automatically malware. This annoys me when I want to keep up with the advancements in the emulation community and certain security websites.
