blocking unsuitable internet sites - Windows XP

[bajanbim]

Hi

 

I have tried using tools, internet options, security settings, restricted sites, sites and then posting the web site address and clicking on ok. It doesn't seem to work but when I go back to check it the web site address is in the resticted sites but it doesn't restrict access. Can you advise?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Its Windows XP Home Edition. The site I am trying to block is http://www.funny-games.biz/main.html and I would like to block access to any of the games from this address.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Just tried the method I described again and it does work. It allows me to view the site but doesn't let me play the games (which is my aim). Is there anyway I can block it so I can't even view the home page?

 

Thanks

i have tried blocking the whole domain in my internet explorer and it still gets through.mmmmmm

do you use a router firewall.you may be able to block it via that.
