Administrator DKT27 Posted October 2, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well it's easy to block it in IE but I don't know how to do it in FF. Can you be more specific. You want it for your self or somethin similar to disallow the adult content, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 2, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2009 I prefer Comodo(firewall only). It also has HIPS. ;)Scored very high in test of firewalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoham Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Not sure about other antivirus / firewall, but in Nod32, you can set Web access restriction for some particular web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre™ Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine.This only occurs in W2000/XP/Vista. Windows 98 and ME are not affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
