the site is called 'Ways to get on myspace' but I can't ping it cos it comes back saying 'the ping request can not find the host' Thanks a million |
This was a tricky one to block, but . .
I believe I found a way. This is a workaround.
It doesn't keep the page from coming up, but the kid can't use it to get to MySpace or anywhere else if you do the following:
I decided I'd see if putting it in the restricted zone in the "Security" tab of the Internet Explorer Properties page would fix it, and it seemed to.
I put the whole thing in (the base URL, "http://75.126.77.27" (without the quotes), and then, although it did get to the page, it then said "you have javascript disabled, please enable it to use the proxy."
So if it doesn't work without javascript working, then you just put that site in the "restricted zone" in IE properties, and make sure that zone has zero permissions to do anything, least of all run javascripts and active X controls (something programs like SpywareBlaster disable (for this very reason) anyway. The reason SpywareBlaster disables them and puts all kind of bad (virus/spyware) sites in that zone is that so if your browser is secretly hijacked and sent to one of these bad sites, they can't download viruses to your PC using javascripts and active X controls (basically, executable programs, which easily can be viruses, if they are from the wrong people).
To get to the Security tab of the IE Properties page, click (along the top of your Internet Explorer browser) "Tools", then "Internet Options", then click the "Security" tab (2nd from left, usually), and then click the red "Restricted Sites" icon, and then click "Sites" button just below the red thing, and then type in the URL of the site and click "Add" and the "OK"
Now you just have to keep the kid from going in and enabling JavaScript. I would urge you to use Doug Knox's XP Security console for this (to take away the kids' or employees' abilities to mess with the javascript controls):
here's the link to Doug's free downloadable program, which gives a parent a lot of extra power if you're using XP or (I believe it works on Windows 2000 as well):

again. . feel free to email me with any questions/comments you may have.
address is spectator <-- (add an R after the P) @yahoo.com [ I intentionally did it this way so some robotic program won't scan this page, find my email address, and then send me millions more offers of cheap rolexes every day, or whatever. . the actual name to put before the @ symbol is sprectator (the word spectator with an R stuck in after the S and before the P), and then just @yahoo.com
