I am glad I know this now, at my house I am in charge of fixing the family computer… I can use this to block websites that I know are known to have viruses. Thanks :P
Hi. The solution you gave is quite ok. But if you want to block more than websites is no more valid. I use Application Blocker (http://www.applicationblocker.com) and i can block not only websites, but also applications – mostly games :), chat rooms and multimedia.
Hi, I have blocked website address by using this process. Now I need some information on blocked website. Pls suggest again accessing process of blocked website address?

Hi, Blocking websites by editing the host file is fine, but if the site has previousl been visited then you need to delete browsing history etc. otherwise the host file will be ignored. Alec
Useful tips, but a third party web filter will be much more easier I think.
none of these things are working for me. trying to ban porn sites and i did everything u said, but when i type them in, the site still works. so frustrating…
Thank you so so much for this. I have a few websites that I need to block, first starting with Facebook, my son is always on it!

Grate post… Thanks for sharing information about protect your computer from unwanted content and block websites because it is very important in home computers, where kids use the internet from education purpose.
Great – I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, site theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Excellent task..
naturally like your website but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to inform the truth however I will surely come back again.
You completed a small number of nice points there. I conducted military services has started on the matter and located lots of persons will present the exact same opinion with each of your blog.
