    Blocking sites on your PC can look a costly plan if you are using 3rd party blocking software programs.

    • Go to start>>All Programs>>Accessories."Open the Notepad program and Run as administrator.
    • Click File, click Open and type C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc into the Open field. Click Enter to open that folder.
    • Click on hosts and click "Open" to open your Windows hosts file.
    • Type 127.0.0.1 www.orkut.com into the end of the hosts file to block the website www.orkut.com.
    • Commit your changes to the hosts file by clicking File and after that clicking.
