Enter in www.yahoo.com and select the DENY button. You will be prompted to enter a "Supervisor" password that you will need to create. This will prompt for a password everytime yahoo.com is accessed. Now, Im sure there are ways to get around this... ex: using firefox and using Google to trick IE... Also, Make sure you put a rating on all sites... the content advisor will see the unrated sites as "Bad" sites...

This will redirect any requests to the webpage to your local computer, which effectively blocks that page. I'm not a fan of the IE content advisor because it relies on the web page your visiting to implement the correct coding. Plus it only works for IE.
