I've been trying to block a couple of specific web sites and have followed instructions per:
Windown/system32/drivers/etc/hosts I have also unticked the 'read only' and typed in the offending sites like this: 127.0.0.1 (website typed in) with the www., *. and straight up typing on individual lines. At one point, this did work and the sites were blocked. But in my widom, I was playing around and managed to clear something that did alter the computer and how it brought up information. Hard to explain. Anyway, the websites are still in the host file and did not change, except now they don't block the sites! Is there any other way to block them, or what do I have to do to 'reset' my computer? I think it's screwed, chewed and bbq'd. Help...
