There is an file in Windows OS named HOSTS. All you have to do some changes in Hosts file.

1. Click on start button & then click on run.
2. In the run dialog box type %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts {This command is for windows xp\vista}

If you are using another type of OS, the location of host file may be depend on it.

• For Win NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP / Vista / Win7 : type the following command in RUN dialog box %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
• For Win 95 / 98 / Me : %windir%\
• For Mac OS 9 or earlier, goto System folder >> Prefrences
• For Mac OS X, the location of file is /private/etc/hosts
• For all type of Linux or Unix distributions, the file is at /etc/hosts dd

3. When you click OK on the Run dialog box, it will show you a Open With dialog box, click on Notepad option & then click OK.

4. Now the HOSTS file will open in Notepad.

5. Type the websites names on the end of the page. see below:

For example: If you want to block YAHOO just type

127.0.0.1              www.yahoo.com

Be sure that you've type the address of site  after the Localhost

127.0.0.1               localhost

6. After typing the names of websites, Just save & close the file.

Now open your web browser & see what is says about it.
