    How can I block certain web sities ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure the specific pages you can simply lock. So I have that at least for me in school days.

    1. How do I do this?

    2. Can I do this with Mozilla and Internet Explorer do?

    3. I still somehow possible on the page to apply (with a password might)?

    Hi,

    You can use the Windows 'Hosts' file to accomplish this, here's how:

    In Windows XP, the hosts file is found here:

    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

    Once you have found the hosts file, right click it and select Properties. Uncheck the "Read-Only" attribute (if checked). Click OK.

    Double click the 'Hosts' file and select "Notepad" from the list of programs to open it with.

    Once you have the hosts file open in Notepad, you will see an entry such as:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    To block a certain web page from loading, add the following:

    127.0.0.1 www.webpage.com

    Your Hosts file will now look like this:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 www.webpage.com

    Add as many web addresses as you like in the same fashion.

    Once you are finished, go up to 'File' and click 'Save'.

    The web pages listed in your 'Hosts' file should be blocked from access. It may be necessary for you to reboot your computer for these changes to take effect.

    Hi,

    You can use CCAutoSoft software. CCAutoClient read the url from the browser* when it is submitted and compare it with the Web Block data. When it find the word, it will block. So, you also can block a bunch of URLs simply by adding an appropriate word.

    e.g.: by adding word fashion, all web site will be blocked.
