Adware Comet
How can I prevent Internet Explorer to visit a dangerous site?
My computer is infected with adware / comet whn I visit www.screensavers.com, can I block Internet Explorer to visit this site? No, it will not automatically, I mean my computers in my cafe, some clients inadvertently access Site … and adware / comet moves later. My question and what I want is to block this site so that it can not be accessed by my clients.
You can easily and effectivily block access to a website by adding it to your Windows HOSTS file. (Yes, guests are capitalized for some strange reason). 1.Go to your HOSTS file located at: C: WINDOWS System32 DRIVERS ETC for Windows Vista XP C: WINNT System32 DRIVERS ETC for Windows 2k C: WINDOWS for Windows 98 and ME 2. Hosts open with notepad. The default Windows HOSTS looks like this: ______________________ # Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP / IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of addresses IP to host names. Each # entry should be on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column, followed by corresponding host name. # The IP address and host name should be separated by a space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol. # # Example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # 127.0.0.1 localhost _____________________________ 3. Directly under the line that says 127.0.0.1 Localhost, you want to type: 127.0.0.1 name of the URL you want to block, for example to block the MySpace.com homepage (! highly recommended), simply type: 127.0.0.1 myspace.com 127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com Other parts of MySpace can be blocked in a similar way: 127.0.0.1 search.myspace.com 127.0.0.1 profile.myspace.com etc etc etc. .. You may need to add sites both with and without the "www.". Test after blocking to make sure you did not mistaken. You can add as many sites as you want to block in this mode. I myself have over 12000 undesireable and dangerous sites in my HOSTS file personal! 4. Close Notepad and answer "Yes" when prompted. 5. Restart your computer and try to access your site now blocked. You should see a not find server or DNS Error saying: "The page can not be displayed". —————————– Some people may think that you add a website you want to block by adding it to the Restricted Zone of Internet Explorer. This does not completely block a site. It does that will restrict a site from certain actions such as the use of JavaScript, Active-X and Java etc.

Adware by Elmo, Timoteus [Paperback] $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Adware, or advertisingsupported software, is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer. These advertisements can be in the form of a popup. The object of the Adware is to generate revenue for its author. Adware, by itself, is harmless; however, some adware may come with integrated spyware such as keyloggers and other privacyinvasive software. Advertising functions are integrated into or bundled with the software, which is often designed to note what Internet sites the user visits and to present advertising pertinent to the types of goods or services featured there. Adware is usually seen by the developer as a way to recover development costs, and in some cases it may allow the software to be provided to the user free of charge or at a reduced price. The income derived from presenting advertisements to the user may allow or motivate the developer to continue to develop, maintain and upgrade the software product. Conversely, the advertisements may be seen by the user as interruptions or annoyances, or as distractions from the task at hand. Author: Elmo, Timoteus Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 100 Publication Date: 2011/08/10 Language: English Dimensions: 9.02 x 5.98 x 0.24 inches |
