Any porn site, lots of music download sites, lots of gamer sites.
lost of software sharing sites.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but we are talking about literally thousands of sites.
Try a different approach....Make your self Adminstrator of their computers (kids), and this will make the unable to go to any site you have not pre approved.
Start, Settings, Control Panel, look for Parental controls. If any thing confuses you youse the help icon at the top.
If you have a high speed connection you should have a modem, but I would add a router. High speed is a potentially "always on" connection, and needs a harware firewall (Router) you can pick up a Linksys 4 port router for about $100. It is well worth the price. Load the software before hooking up the hardware, the software will lead you through the process.
Circuit City and Best Buy and staples ought to be able to supply this. Try BEST BUY first.

All sites that teenagers use frequently have them. Myspace is very popular right now, but while the site itself is okay except for the spyware, you have to be extremely careful of the users.
My husband got on the site one day, and someone had asked to be added to his friends list. He clicked on thier profile just to see if he wanted to add them, and the profile downloaded a string of viruses, trojans, and highjackers onto my PC. I couldn't even run my virus programs because the virus was blocking it. It was using Windows Security Center to say I had a virus and needed to buy virus protection, but whenever I tried to use any scanners, it would pop up the website to the one that they wanted me to buy, obviously just trying to get my information. Needless to say, I had to reformat the hard drive to get it off. That is never good.
Make sure to tell them that if they are going to use this site to be sure to have Spybot on thier PC, you can get it free at www.downloads.com it's Spybot Search & Destroy, it's the only one I've found that is good. Also tell them to make sure they keep their profile private so that only people who know thier last name or email address can request to add them and only people on thier friends list can see thier profile. This will keep this kind of thing happening to them.
I hope this helps your list. Good luck.

Most websites contain malware in their ads. Just the way it is. Install an antivirus, firewall, and configure your browser properly and there is no danger.
