Answer 2

There are many ways. If you are using a router, sometimes the software allows you to. I know that Netgear does. Also, some antivirus software like McAfee (Internet Security Suite or Total Protection) allow you to do so. I'm not so sure if you can do it from Control Panel on Windows though. There are probably a few free software programs out there to do something like that also. Check out http://www.softpedia.org and http://www.sourceforge.net.

Go to internet explorer - internet options.

under restricted sites - click (sites)

you can add it there and I think you'll be blocked to go there.
