like others have suggested the hosts file seems the best way to go. and dont forget forget to disable DNS service.

instructions on that here:

I would say that it's closer to being the worst way to go. And disable DNS? Yea disable it if you don't want to your computer to be able to resolve domain names to IP addresses (ie - web browse).

Correct me if I'm wrong...

but isn't the HOSTS file slow as hell? The computer checks it every time you access a webpage, thus slowing down the browsing process.

It's easy enough to test it out yourself. Give it a shot. Just reboot after changing the file over. The first thing you should notice is that it takes forever and a day for your NIC to initialize.

Well, they really work kinda differently (hostfile and domain blocklist), so it kinda belongs in it's own topic and ultimately its only what you preferre to use that matters. :)

Bad Sector: 8100+ actually :), thank you!

Thank you seapagan :)

PS. If you experience sites with adware/spyware/malware/trojans/redirectors/mass popups etc please do post the domains here and I will validate and add them to the list!

Eg. If you experience webpages opening from running files downloaded from P2P networks, or applications on your computers showing unwated adds, please note the domain.

The list will grow with (bad?) experience... ;)

Finally I add it to my post install !
