Need help finding a program that blocks websites

[shivy]

Anyone know a free full version program,thats only like a few megabytes and blocks websites?It would be nice if it was simple too,like just type in the website and its blocked.

In IE, Tools => Internet Options... => Security => Restricted Sites => Sites

just one problem,it doesn't work,I block the site I want.Then if I try to go back it still lets me through.

Try using Mozilla Firefox. I'm sure it has an extension that blocks websites.

Just edit the hosts file which is located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.

127.0.0.1 (Website address without http://www.)

they don't use mozilla and james,can you explain it a bit more?I am sorry I am not very good with this stuff.

Ye, sure.
Browse to the folder 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc' and double click the 'Hosts' icon and choose to open with Notepad.

Type the following after the introduction part of the Hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 (Website address without http://www.)

eg. 127.0.0.1 Google.com

Whenever you try to access that website it will just go to the 'page cannot be displayed' page.
