There are few office staffs who spend their days on Orkut and demand salary at the end of the month. Parents are seen to be much worried as their children surf Orkut even during their exam days. At this point of time, you would like to block Orkut.com on your computer, so that no one will be able to open and access Orkut until and unless you want them to do so. Let’s know how to do this.

Navigate to Start >> Run on your computer.


Enter the following line in the Run field and hit Enter. notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts


A notepad will pop up with some information in it. Add the following lines to the last line of that notepad. (Hit Enter and add the following code) 127.0.0.1 orkut.com

Save the changes in that notepad file and you are Done.


That’s it. Now no one will be able to access Orkut.com from that computer. In this way you can block other sites also. Simply replace Orkut.com with any site’s name and that site will be blocked from your computer.

If you want to unblock Orkut.com and give access to surf Orkut again, follow the above steps and remove the lines you added there.
