I decided to implement my own live malware list on my ac66 (has no aiprotection)

I am using the list provided here which is maintained. http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt
They also have an ip list for ip based names but I am not sure how to block those yet as they cannot be done via a hosts file. I might consider making an iptables script.

I am curious how big the trend micro list is and if anyone has a text list of the trend micro list?

The size of the list I am using is 1425 domains.

The list is hosted on Trend Micro's own server, so nobody knows its exact content. Their list is URL-based rather than just domain-based, AFAIK.

If you want an external list for your own needs, you could look at what Firefox and Chrome use.
