I'm not good with computers. I tried searching on how to block a website if you're using Mozilla, but all I find is how to block websites using IE. Someone please help me. I'm going to block a website that my little brother always goes to & he's on for 24/7. It gives my computer viruses too so I REALLY want to block it. Someone please help me, please? sad.gif

He gets you viruses even ON firefox?!
:x I hate to know what sites he visits

You can block it with the router if you use one and many of the ways to block a site in IE will work for firefox as well.

dry.gif hey sam! I know how you can block the site, (if ur brother isnt that smart) but dunno if you already tried this before though.

-So when you open up ur internet explorer window you look at the top and you see file, edit, view ect.

-There should be a tools tab. Click on that and go to internet options.

-A new window should open. Then click on the privacy tab. Look near the bottom and click on the sites tab.

-Type in the url that you want blocked and click block.
You might want to block a couple diff url sites for example if the home page is "game.com" but there is also a page where you log in to play games and its url is "game.com/login", block the second one also. sweatingbullets.gif alrighty see ya later. lemme know if tat works.

I would second blocking the site via the router (if you have one) -- its probably the easiest way to block a site...

Another way to block a site is by editing the "Host" file. Here's a tutorial for you on how to edit your host file (creating, if you don't have one, and then blocking sites...) : http://www.ezlan.net/host1.html

By editing the host file, any application that tries to access the site will no longer connect -- so this works for IE, FireFox, etc. I personally have my Host file set up to block all Google Ads tongue.gif

You can have a LOT of fun with the Host file, if you want (for instance, create your own index file and point the host file to it...when he accesses the site, it'll load that up instead of the site. Imagine his surprise if he visited the site and up came, "THIS SITE CONTAINED ILLEGAL MATERIAL AND HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY THE FBI! YOUR IP ADDRESS HAS BEEN LOGGED AND WILL BE FULLY INVESTIGATED!" -- Maybe it'll scare him a bit happy.gif


I am on FaceBook. Ninja mode, tho. So PM me with your details and I'll add you ;D
