Lots Of people want to Block some websites that are harmfull to our PC. Like some parents take care of their children by blocking porn websites and some colleges/schools blocks some special websites that may harm there network.
You may need a costly (or even free) software to block such websites.
Why to spend money and time and why give HDD space to such useless softwares.
Just do this and block unwanted softwares from accesing.
Steps:
1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
5] Done!
-So-
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.blockedsite.com
-->www.blockedsite.com is now unaccessable<-- For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the add like before. i.e. 127.0.0.3 www.abc.com 127.0.0.4 www.anysite.com 127.0.0.5 www.blahblah.com etc * To unblock sites just do the vice versa !

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
