I blocked the web page "myspace.com" so my children could not access it and my 10 year old saw it was blocked and went to the Yahoo "Search" bar, typed in myspace.com and it took him into the site without asking for a password. How can I block the site from my children regardless of the Home page and them using the search bar.

You can block it on your router if you have one of those.

You can use parental control software to block access, filter content, restrict access to specific hours or length of time.
Some ISPs provide this free, you can also try NetNanny, Kidswatch.
If you set your acct as Administrator then you can do this yourself by setting up standard accts and set restrictions
that are appropriate for each child.

Easiest way is to use the HOSTS file..

Or you can go through your router (if you have one)

another alternative is content filtering using freeware such as netnanny.
