Try using the following methods\nGo toTools, Internet Option, Security, Restricted Sites, Click on Sites and then  add the site in there. or\n\nYou can block your computer from accessing any website by editing your HOSTS file located here:\n\nWindows XP = C:WINDOWS-SYSTEM32-DRIVERS-ETC \nWindows 2K = C:WINNT-SYSTEM32-DRIVERS-ETC \nWin 98/ME = C:WINDOWS \n\nOpen the HOSTS file with Notepad and add this line on the first blank line (the first blank is usually right under 127.0.0.1 localhost). Type:\n127.0.0.1 www.XYZ.com (here change the XYZ to the name of the site you wish to block)\n\nNow close Notepad and answer yes if prompted. Close Explorer. Test by typing the URL of the site you have just blocked into your address bar. It should come up "This Page Cannot Be Displayed".\n\nApart from these there are many other softwares that can be downloaded and which can be configured to block the required websites.\n\nHope that has been Helpful. All the Best and May God Bless you.

Use Firefox!!\n\nYou can set the security setting to allow pop ups for certain sites etc.  It's free, fast and safe.\n\nDownload it here\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

In Internet Explorer click Tools/Internet Options/Privacy.\nUnder the privacy settings click on Sites...\nIn the Address of Web site: box, type the webmail site you want blocked and click on the Block button\nRepeat for each additional website\nViola, webmail sites blocked.  \nAnother option is to block by ip address.\nToo find out the ip of a website go to start/run and type in command.com or do a search for command.com\nOnce you have the command window open, type in, without quotations, "ping mail.yahoo.com" for an example.  The ip for websites and their mail servers are usually; but, not always different. You can then enter that ip address into the blocked site list

Go to Tools and then internet options. Then click the tab "Security" and then click on Restricted sites just once to highlight it.\n\nThen click on the SITES button. You can add the website in there to block it from IE.

I will explain it for you. This cannot be done from our end as we do not have any permissions to do so. This is done by server admininstrator and we the normal users do not have permissions to change. OR else we can do that by clicking on Tools and Internet OPtions and then click security tab and then click restricted sites and then click on security button to block or unblock.\n\ndairymilk

There isn't a way to "filter" web sites by the sites themselves you need a program that will block child-sensitive sites from the computer level. To do this, I recommend Norton Internet Security suite because it has a parental control feature that will block unwelcome sites when your child uses the computer. That is the best in my opinion. As far as the emails go that is a subject that myself personally that I am not qualified to answer. But definitely go with Norton to block not so friendly sites. Good Luck

Use a pop-up blocker if they come up as pop-up windows (yahoo toolbar may do the work for you). Also select high level of security in your browser. That would prevent many unwanted sites from being opened. Also use a firewall (you can get a personal firewall like zone alarm for free).

You just did. The only way to "block" stuff like that is to understand what dangers exist on the Internet (which btw is 16 years old today... Happy Birthday Internet!). There are some advanced firewall tools out there (I think AOL has something but AOL sucks) that you can configure so that you can't browse to those pages. But what appears in a search engine is entirely out of your control. If you search for something that has a bad rep your going to get hits for it whether you like it or not. Beware of the Internet...

You can use Internet Explorer's own settings to block unsavoury sites.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/rating_overview.mspx

Under the Internet Explorer options (Tools-Options), you can set the security options for the browser. You can block such sites. Also, ad blockers might help a bit

there are others like cybersitter but they all rely on people embedding keywords into the web pages to make them work properly any site that doesn't follow this guide line or uses words in another language makes it very difficult to filter 100% of what you require. \n\nthere are other methods that will be just as effective but with zero cost to you.\n\ncontact me for further info on alternative methods of control over your PC to stop people from visiting unwanted places

I have the google toolbar. It has a pop-up blocker and it stops almost everything. I think you can get it at www.google.com.
