Situation: I have a PC at home and the PC is shared by the family so my brother and 3 sisters share the PC. I am afraid that my brother would open sites that are not good and maybe phonographic in content and my sisters might see it too.
Question: How will I block specific sites on my PC so that only good sites and not phonographic sites in content will be accessed on my internet.
Internet Explorer 5 presented the capability to increase the security and privacy of the user. If you want to block a site, follow the steps below:
1. Launch your Internet Explorer.
2. Click on Tools> Internet Options> Privacy Tab.
3. Click Sites on the Privacy window.
4. Type the URL that you wish to block and then click OK.
Remember that you need to type one of the following formats:
https://www.yahoo.com/
yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
