Re: How to block a list of websites?

Hi Siemel - From my Blog, address in Signature, below:

"install and keep updated a good HOSTS file. It can help you avoid most
adware/malware. See here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm (Be sure
it's named/renamed HOSTS - all caps, no extension) Additional tutorials
