Ad server hostname list - which hostnames are included and why

Hostnames included in the list are:

Highest level domains only (ie, doubleclick.net, not ad.doubleclick.net) Not only ad servers - spyware servers, hit tracking servers, and other nasty hostnames are included Checked by hand before being added when submitted by a user Automatically checked weekly to see if they're still valid

Types of servers that will be listed:

ad servers - servers dedicated to serving up ads (these make up the majority of entries) malware servers - servers contacted by viruses, spyware, or other nasty things that routinely attack your computer tracking servers - any server that is dedicated to recording user's actions spam servers - occassionally I'll add a server that is causing a huge amount of spam, but very rarely
