Song lyric sites are the worst I've run into, worse than porn.
Go only with a firewall (and deny requested permissions) and layers of spyware killers.

No site can be viewed as completely safe anymore... when we had the nasty rash of highjackers last year on both home pc's:

Hijacked! New Browser Exploits Plague Web

we had only visited mainline webpages and my wife had just downloaded "a bunch of free stuff, and games, for her pocket PC..."

267 infections, as I recall. Ironically, a websearch for cures let me to ( you guessed it! ) a pure porn site, who, besides all the neeked folks screwing, had links to SWI forums:

Spyware Information Forums

where I finally got enough info to fix the problem.

Lyric sites are really bad. I am a gigging musician, and beleve me, my pc needs an enema after I update my lyrics book.

One of those totally crashed my last computer. The new one is running AdSubtract and it works very well. I still am paranoid about those lyric sites tho.
