edit c:\windows\system32\driver<wbr />s\etc\host<wbr />s<br />
add entries like<br />
facebook.com 127.0.0.1<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com" rel="ugc">www.facebook.com</a>&nbsp;127.0.0.1.<br />
<br />
add entries for every site you want to block, make sure hosts is no user writable, you need to add an entry for for each site and subdomain you want to block, hosts file does not support wildcards ie: *.facebook.com will not work.
