    Any Freeware application to block websites?

    Hi guys

    I have a dual booting pc that can boot I both windows XP as well as windows 7. Now I was looking for the application that can block certain website. This reason is my kid and I don’t want them to accesses interne during their exams. Don’t want to spend money on it either hence want the freeware. Also it should be password protected application. I will be really appreciating for this

    Thanks in advance.

    Naomi Web Filter It is a program to block inappropriate web pages aimed at children who are exposed on the network, with content such as pornography, etc. and if anyone try to access the website voluntary or accidental to a page that you won’t want them to see then the browser will close automatically .

    the best way to block access to certain sites is to enter their address in the list windows hosts file (C: \ windows \ system32 \ etc \ drivers \). after, if you want to block access to this list of the hosts file to prevent changes, I believe there is software to do this.

    You open it with notepad

    • Start / All Programs / Accessories
    • Right click on the notepad to run as administrator
    • File / Open select all files
    • The hosts file is C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc
    • To block enter the site name
    • Saves changes

    To protect access to the internet with Firefox, I use ProCon Latte Content Filter for Firefox, free and very effective!

    Ability to block by web address or keyword that is most effective for me to block all unwanted site addresses,

    Unfortunately, it does not work with Internet Explorer.

    I have already a parental control on my security suite, it is "effective" at least he blocks some sites, but other filters and it displays a message when blocking, I want out simply that there was no window that could start from a given site, see a particular IP address if it is necessary.

    Any Weblock is a free utility that allows you to block access to any website. Works with all browsers and has a backup function, useful for undoing changes.

    Before you start, Any Weblock create a password to restrict access to the program

    In the security options of Internet Explorer -> security -> restricted sites .... You add the ones you want. Don’t kwow any such setting for the other browser but you can remove all other browser and only use the internet explorer
