Add the sites you wish to block to your "hosts" file.
In folder options click on show hidden files and folders.
Right click on start select "explore" scroll down to windows and open it
then scroll to system32 and open,scroll to "drivers" and open click on ETC
this will show you your hosts file open it with notepad.
This is your computer DO NOT modify this entry.
127.0.0.1 local host
To add an entry so your system will not connect to a certain website modify
this file.Examples below.
127.0.0.1 www.abcsearch.com
127.0.0.1 abc517.net #[Trojan.Mitglieder.H]
127.0.0.1 acestats.com
127.0.0.1 www.acestats.com
127.0.0.1 actualnames.com #[Parasite.ActualNames][server down?]
127.0.0.1 www.actualnames.com
Now the computer will not connect to these 6 sites.
