Answer» I was wondering how i can block websites such as myspace and other sites from children with the FireFox browser?
I have looked in tools but haven't had any luck. is there a add-on or do i need some other software?
I have nvidia firewall BUILT in the mobo. and using avg antivirus and spyware scanner. i did have a norton antivirus installed but got rid of it since it wouldn't allow any kind of access from anything VIA LAN PORT.
would the norton antivirus allow blocking of INDIVIDUAL sites that i specify?
Thank you for your time.There are number of ways to do it.
I'd suggest using "hosts" file.
It's located in:
C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc folder
Open it with Notepad.
Let's say, you want to block "myspace"...
At the end of "hosts" file type in:
127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com
Go File>Save, and you're done.
You can add any number of sites, you want...Just remember to use 127.0.0.1 prefix.Why type in google if they want to block Myspace ? ?
But i THINK they get the idea.
