how to block orkut, facebook, power.com from your computer

Orkut is a great site to hang out with friends or find new friends on the internet. It is very popular in India and many other countries of the world. However, some people might want to block orkut in their PC. This may be due to many reasons and I’m not discussing it. Whatever the reason may be, if you want to block orkut, you can follow the following steps:

Blocking orkut using hosts file:

  1. Open the file “c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts” in notepad or go to Start>Run and type “c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts”, choose open with notepad in the option that comes up. Now, the contents of the file will be displayed and it will be something like this:
    # Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    #
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    2.
