Answer 3

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, and the Content tab. Click on Enbale, then go to the Approved Sites tab. You can add the names of any sites that you want to block there.

Answer 4

Go on the internet properties. Then go on security. Click on the restricted sites. Lastly write down the website's names e.g www.runescape.com. Also get the yahoo toolbar and the google toolbar because they have pop-up blockers fitted in them. Hope it helps, Cool Dude

Answer 5

Don't visit that website.

If it is a pop up. Block pop ups on your internet options. If it is a search engine, like yahoo, you can customize your account to block inappropriate websites when you search.

Answer 6

You can easily and effectivily block access to a website by adding it to your Windows HOSTS file. (Yes, Hosts is capitalised for some strange reason).



1.Go to your HOSTS file which is located at:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for windows Vista and XP

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC for Windows 2k

C:\WINDOWS for Windows 98 and ME



2. Open HOSTS with Notepad.



The default Windows HOSTS looks like this:

______________________



# Copyright © 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

3. Directly under the line that says 127.0.0.1 Localhost, you will want to type:



127.0.0.1 name of the URL you want to block



For example to block the MySpace.com homepage (highly recommended!), simply type:



127.0.0.1 myspace.com

127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com



You will need to add sites with both with and without the "www.".



You can add as many sites as you wish to block in this fashion. I, myself, have over 12000 undesireable and dangerous sites in my personal HOSTS file!



4. Close Notepad and answer "Yes" when prompted.



5. Reboot your computer and attempt to access your now blocked website. You should see a Cannot find server or DNS Error saying: "The page cannot be displayed".



-----------------------------



Some people may suggest that you add a website that you wish to block by adding it to Internet Explorer's Restricted Zone. This does NOT totally block a site. It will only RESTRICT a site from certain actions such as using javascript, Active-X and Java etc.

Answer 7

DOn't type the address in the address bar? Try installing google or yahoo tool bar and enabling pop-up blocker.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Stop going there.

Answer 10
