Thumbs up Try this.........

Try blocking websites by using the "hosts" file.

To block a particular website on your computer follow the following steps:

Step 1:

Find the file under -

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Step 2:

Open the “hosts” file by using "notepad". At the bottom of the line, you can see as follows -

127.0.0.1 localhost

Add the following line below it -

e.g. 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com localhost

The above code is written to block www.yahoo.com website on the computer.

Hope this helps.
