Windows 7 – Unable to Block Website Through System32/Drivers/Etc/Hosts

blockinghostswindows 7

I am trying to block social media and news websites on my local machine (Windows 7).

I added the below lines into my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.thatstamil.com
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com

In that way Facebook is successfully blocked. But thatstamil.com is still accessible. How do I block this site?

Best Answer

Try removing the www. Just:

127.0.0.1 thatstamil.com
127.0.0.1 tamil.oneindia.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
