when you say "block" do you mean to restrict access to it completely.
If so the easiest way is to adjust your hosts file, located in Windows/system32/drivers/etc, with this simple line

Code:

127.0.0.1       whatever.com

This will stop access to the site completely, whatever browser you use.

alright, would that number be the same no matter what the site is?
and how excatly do i open up the hosts file to adjust it? with what program?

are there any alternative ways?
