Alright, I leave my house for a day or two (or several months for that matter) and my dad screws things up on the computer, Porn, Yahoo messenger with freaks so too keep my parents marriage, how do I keep him from doing this? Blocking Yahoo messenger and nearly all porn sites... I want to know, I dont care if I gotta put secure lockdown on my pc, I will do it... I need him to quit screwing my stuff up and he denys it.... so any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Gunny

A password for logging into the computer should be enough. Roll Eyes

Take the network cards out of the comp aswell, and hide them, along with all the cables.

Get a decent firewall on the comp and you should be able to block specific websites (using their ip), also close the port yahoo messenger works on.

Net nanny i believe can be used as a software approach to the problem.

Here is another solution i read:
Open Windows Explorer.

Browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.

Find the file named "HOSTS".

Open the file in notepad.

Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" add 127.0.0.2 www.website address here.com. So, if you'd like to block www.website address here.com, the code will look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.website address here.com

The site is now blocked.

If you want to block another site, just repeat the process with the next number in the 127.0.0 sequence. For example:
127.0.0.3 www.website address here.com
127.0.0.4 www.website address here.com

Hope this helps Wink
