How to block a site or IP address on your pc



To block a site or IP address on your pc you can block it via the host file in windows.


go to Windows\system32\drivers\etc\

open host file in notepad and add the line

127.0.0.1

then press tab and enter the ip or web address, each entry needs to be on its own line. Save the file and then windows will block the address. But please note that in Vista or Win7 you need to take control of the host file for this to work.
