Welcome to the forum :wavey:

For XP users, the "HOSTS" file is located in this folder:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

If you want to block that site, open this file using Notepad:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

In there, you'll see a line that looks about like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Under it, place a similar line looking like this:

127.0.0.1 bigbaps.com

Save it.

Reboot.

Sorry. :oops:

Only Jesus Christ can make that claim.
