Well, you could modify the host files on your system.
1) Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
2) Find the file named "Hosts". Double click, and open it with Notepad.
3) You should seem something like this...
5) Now, to block "http://www.myspace.com", you then point it to to 127.0.0.1, which is your local ethernet adaptor, in the host file.
So your host file should look like this:
Now, save the file. And that's it. That'll block Myspace completely on the computer, no matter which browser.

Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 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

If you have a router that supports it you can block it via there as well.
