Question about Vista's Parental Controls

Hi. I was hoping someone can help
Is it possible to get lists of questionable sites to block in Vista's parental controls. I see you can import lists and was wondering if there are websites that I might be able to download them from

Look for websites that have downloadable "HOSTS" files for blocking sites. A HOSTS file is a file Windows uses to direct a URL request to an IP address and can be used to block a website. Basically it consists of a list of websites and IP addresses - usually 127.0.0.1 used to block access. Open it in notepad but beware some are thousands of sites long.0
