1. hi simply you can block any site by entring that site name in hosts file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in etc folder you can find HOSTS file and open it via notepad or wordpad it will show like : # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost ********************************************************************* add here which site you want block and save it and close now see that site has been blocked
