I hope you guys can assist me on this one. I had a virus and just recently got my computer back all fixed up. Months ago I had the same computer guy block certain websites so that I would not be able to access them. He did just that and all was fine until I got the machine backtoday and noticed that now I am able to access those websites.
Instead of paying him again to do what he did before is there anyway I myself could block these sites? Also, could I block them and not have access to unlocking them afterward? I know it sounds strange but any help would be much appreciated.
I want to block all the social networking sites, I get tempted to look at ex-girls and all that, not a good thing for me TRUST.
yes, i have an hp510n:
256mb ram
1.2ghz celeron processor
winxp pro
It's NOT FireFox that's slowing down your browsing, you are using an operating system whose most MINIMAL requirements are 256mb. That means the OS is using ALL the memory all the time and everything YOU are doing is occurring the in swap space, that's the slowest possible reality.
Unfortunately the most memory you can put into your unit is 512mb.
i totally agree about the ram... have been spending the money on other bills. however, when i was using firefox 2.*, i didn't notice any speed problems. when i reinstalled winxp, i unthinkinly installed firefox 3.*. i noticed slower browsing, and thought it was my system, so i kept closing everything to get more speed. nothing helped, until i went and reinstalled firefox 2.*. the speed was immediately back to what i remember it before reinstallation. btw, thank you so much for the link!
