 /etc/hosts.
 Since you bring up browser independent, I wonder if there's some way to
 export these lists to something that squid understands?
 
There's also SpyBot Search+Destroy for windows - a free malware scanner that
optionally modifies your Windows host file to include blacklists for
hundreds of malware and tracking sites. I'm not 100% sure it blocks ad
sites, I don't think it does, but after running SpyBot and NoScript in
Firefox I simply don't get any malware anymore.
