I looked at several but they all cost. There could be a free one out there, you'll just have to hunt it down.

1. Go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/

2. Open hosts file in notepad

3. Type the following:

127.0.0.1 myspace.com

4. Save

By doing the above your computer will search myspace at 127.0.0.1 (localhost - your own computer).

Now all you will get is, cannot find server error when you try to access myspace. You can do this for any website.

If you remove, it will start working again.
