Recommend A Free Site Blocker?

Hi Tom et al., I'm seeking a reliable freeware program that bans websites, namely porn, drugs, explicit lyrics, etc.. Most importantly, It must be able to manually input websites for blocking. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hal

This excellent hosts file will be just what you want.

It is updated quite often.

Connections to bad sites are short-circuited back to your own PC (127.0.0.1)
You can add other sites by just editing the hosts file to insert them.

Spywareguard & IESPYad, both in my signature below will add about 10,000 sites to your restricted zone. They are both free and updated fairly regularly. I would also suggest that you download Spywareguard as it will actaully stop some hijacks.

Does ISpyad have a whitelist as well as a blacklist?
This is for sites like Lara Croft Online, that's 95 percent Flash, 4 percent Java, and 1 percent text. (macros)

if you are using ie then go for BOTH IE-SPYADS and the HOSTS file also Javacools spywareblaster and spybot search and destroy IMMUNIZE and HOSTS (in MODE>ADVANCED if one of these blocks Laura then just remove from hosts or ie restricted sites thats the way to whitelist it add programs one a time and test Hosts will also work with FIREFOX or other browsers ie-spyads is just for IE and OUTLOOK/ Outlook exppress post back here if you need help configureing OE for restricted sites (if you use oe) keep IE to access windows update- which is essential go for spywareguard also unless you are running something similar run a good firewall (not xp) zone alarm unless you're adventuous what are you using for AV and anti trojan? wyrmrider
