I see many people recommending Peer Guradian, but I question its usefulness. From past experience, it blocked many sites that I found useful, and tended not to block a whole lot else. Because it relies on user submited IP's.
From their website:
"How safe is PeerGuardian, really?
Well, it is accurate in the sense that it blocks everything on your blocklist. It is impossible to know _all_ the addresses to block so while it will increase your safety to a good extent, it can never be perfect."
IMO its like sticking your head in the sand and hoping noone sees you.
