Was wonder if The content filter plugin or the virus scanner would automatically block known websites that downloads adware and spyware?

Not that I know of. OpenDNS does a good job of blocking access by not resolving known problem sites.

When I go to the opendns site it says I have to get a business license to block malware sites but I'm just a home user

For their top of the line protection I think that's correct. I believe the phishing protection (PhishTank) comes with the free subscription.

Sorry if I confused things.
