The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need to block Internet Site www.runescape.com--even with proxy bypass programs.

Asked by pacumming in Windows Network Security

Tags: runescape, proxy, block

Here is what I want to do.

Prevent under Windows ME the IE browser from going to www.runescape.com

I can block  the 7 IP addresses and a few key ports (via software firewall Sygate Pro) but the site still comes up if the user goes to a bypass proxy like www.hidemyass.com.
(teenager goes to this site when my fiancé is working and her kid still needs computer to do homework-discipline has been tried and not working-obviously addicted to game but still needs computer access.)

I have found a workaround kind of with a combination of several programs but kid can probably still get around things by deleting certain files etc..., killing processes, etc...

I can disable Regedit, disable Add/Remove programs, but CANNOT disable his access to Windows Explorer (to see files), Process List (Ctrl Alt DEL).


So I need a program in addition to software firewall; that will be a cloaked /hidden/ stealth Pop-up blocker that will not be seen running in Process List, cannot be uninstalled, is password protected, cannot be deleted easily from Explorer.

So if the kid uses a proxy bypass the pop-up blocker will read the title of the window that says runescape and the IE windows will close.

I found a program that can cloak other programs so they cannot be seen in task manager and does not show up in Add/Remove list.......
BUT the kid can probably figure out the name of the program and delete by going to file explorer, Program Files, etc...

Be nice if I had just one password protected pop-up blocker that cannot be shutdown, uninstalled, deleted without a password.


I have tried a lot of parental control filters and pop-up blockers but none will prevent the user to get where they want by using a proxy bypass URL they key into the browser as mentioned above.

Thanks, Peter
