What does your regexp expression look like?

Thanks,

wouldn't it be better to create a regexp that combines
`e-card' of 'card' with any of the following 'laugh' and 'friend' and
'greeting'?

Judging by the 'success' of their work method (every not all too clever
user will install their crap) I think we will see loads of new domain
names fairly soon.

I found the same list on the mcafee site, and blocked all those sites in
my web proxy as well combined with a regexp as described above.
