My sister does the virtual school online but we’ve been having problems with her going on Facebook and other stuff and not doing her work. We’re trying to find a program that will block all of that. I downloaded K9 web protection which did a really good job. I thought I could fix it where certain sites were only blocked certain times but I wasn’t able to do that (or I couldn’t figure out how). I heard Net Nanny was good but someone said it didn’t work well on Windows 7.
I really like K9 and will probably stick with it unless I find something with more features so please don’t bother suggesting anything unless it’s capable of blocking only certain sites at certain times like I said. The idea is allowing her access to her school work while blocking Facebook and other things but also completely eliminating a blocker during the weekends and such. The software we have now blocks constantly and can only allow constant access for an hour at a time. It’s a pain to continuously put in a password every hour just to use the computer.
I’ve tried several Chrome and Firefox add-on’s and some were fantastic but could be easily worked around by disabling them or just using another browser.

To block certain websites on your PC, here’ s the trick (for Windows):
Step 1: Click the Start button and select Run. Now copy and paste the following text in that Run box:
c:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts
Choose “Notepad” to open it.
Step 2: Go to the last line of the file, hit the enter key and type in the following format:
127.0.0.1 xxxx.com
Eg: If you want to block facebook.com and myspace.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
Step 3: Save the modified file
That’s it. None of the above sites can be visited on your computer.
One per line if you want to add more web sites.
In this way you can only block website one by one, if you want to block websites in large scale, you can use a professional web filter which will help you easily block websites by keywords or URL.
I have Aobo Filter running secretly on my PC. It is not only a web filter but also a program blocker. It can block games, applications from running on PC. Features include:
• Block unwanted web sites by URL or keywords
• Can’t be bypassed by web proxies
• Password protected
