I don't know what happened but I just surfing on Digg.c om and for some reason I lost all my filters and when I went to reinstall it there was still none. Isn't it supposed to come with a list of things when you install it?

You have to subscribe to a filterset for the blocking to happen. It's not automatic you have to chose one. If they are gone you can go to adblock plus preferences (short cut = Ctrl + shift + A) and under filters 'add filter subscription' for a list or click on the blue link to view all subscriptions.

There is an ongoing thread about this problem. It's not been solve and it's hard to recreate consistently to troubleshoot. Fact some people have never had it happen, I've only seen it once.
