You
can block any website in windows vista, seven and xp with this small
trick. You don’t need any software for it and when you are trying to
open any specific website in browser like internet explorer, Firefox,
safari, chrome or opera, it does not open.
Follow these instructions-
Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
Find the file named “HOSTS”
Open it in notepad
under “127.0.0.1 local host” and add website like this-
127.0.0.1 www.example.com
127.0.01 example.com
If you want to block example.com, add both line your hosts file because some of the website also open without www.
http://www.
icetamil .com
http://placementbox.com
If
you don’t edit your file directly in windows vista & seven, first
you need to copy your hosts file in other drive( except c drive) and
then edit and replace your hosts file with original host file.
You can also understand with this example you can see here when you want to block google, add both domain -
www.google.com
www.google.co.in – it is a default domain for Indian region.
Now check your browser and that site will no longer be accessible.
