How to block specific website without any software
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.
