But I troll, surf, scan and generally research sites quite a bit, and I don't get as much spam, hijack attempts, spyware and general malware from that activity as I get from mainstream sites. Even tracking cookies are 99% mainstream.

I get some pron spam. Sucks, but that's life. But mostly the spam I get is all about fake vuiton bags and Rolex watches, viagra, and I don't notice what else anymore... There's some dating site stuff too, which comes close to adult I guess, and dog treats (serious) and contest winner stuff...

Maintream certainly isn't lily white either. :>)) I just happen to think that in terms of business related stuff the industry has no one to blame but itself for the perception about it as far as business practices. Adult is often the trendetter for both good and bad stuff in this area.
