Is there a list of sites that have been identified as being infected by Nine Ball?

In regards to the 40,000 legitiamte websites Websense identified as being infected with Nine Ball. What are these sites. I can't seem to find them and I need to know before my users get to work on Monday. Thanks IN Advance!

Update:

Note.. I DO NOT need explanations on how this works. The question is.. I need to see the LIST of infected sites. NOT what NineBall does. The web is FULL of sites that tell me what NineBall does. I need the LIST of sites that have been infected. Thanks!

    Nine ball redirects people to 'www.nine2rack.in'

    (can sometimes have .cn).You can try to block access to this page altogether(through the settings of your browser).

    nineball exploits vulnerabilities in adobe reader and quicktime to carry out drive by downloads(downloads of malicious content without consent).

    A good countermeasure would be to get Foxitreader(alternative to adobe reader). It is secure and highly rated by cnet.

    Also make sure that u have the latest version of quicktime, firefox, IE, etc.

    A good firewall like comodo or online armor will also help.

    Go thru this page on drive by downloads:
