I know this is a big concern for all parents, but how do I block a website
(i.e. myspace.com), so my children can't access it????

Hi Marine,

In addition to Content Advisor:

- you could use the HOSTS file to block some sites
- and there are third party solutions with more or less flexibility

You might want to have a look at www.hlrnet.com/intprot.htm where I list
some of those...

Kind regards

Find your Hosts file; it may be hidden and it has no extension.
Open it with Notepad and add this line at the bottom:

127.0.0.1 myspace.com
