Block sites from being able to be accessed?

My brother goes on this gay site named Bebo.com and it's fulla spyware, so is there any way i can block it without having to use parental control? Thanks.

You can set up a proxy server and block it...Or you could just use Firefox.

That's the thing, it's for a different account, well, any account, but my brother doesn't use firefox.

it's easy. just do this:

log in to an account with admin access
navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
open the file named "hosts"
add the following lines to the bottom of it: (remove the space in the www)

save it

now, open a command prompt (DOS box)

type the following:

ping bebo.com

it should give you the above IP address. If so, go to the site in firefox. The site you get is what anyone on that computer will get.

If you'd rather just have it redirect to another gay website, use the IP 207.46.199.30 instead of the one above.

*Note that this will only work if the side doesn't use subdomains (gaystuff.bebo.com, moregay.bebo.com, etc.)[/code]

Wait, I don't want it to redirect to a gay site, it's not a gay gay site, i think it's gay, i just wanna get it away for good.

LoL. Go here: http://64.233.187.99/ That's the site you'll be redirecting to. There's nothing gay about it.

http://207.46.199.30/ isn't gay so much as ghey, imho. But you make the call on that one.

if nothing else, just use the ever popular 127.0.0.1 in place of the IP's. That will get rid of the site, and make it look like it's down.

hmm, cool
Nice to know. Thanks guys

A little help?

The host/ip is backwards. Use this:
(Yes, still remove the space.)
