Is there a way I can blcok the visiting of proxy websites for my children through Norton Anti Virus?

Question

I guess thats their way of getting around my parental block

Answer 1

Not with Norton Antivirus. You'll need something else for that. Their security package may be able to block proxies.

Myself, when the kids got past the blocks I had established, they lost the computer for 2 weeks. Problem went away pretty quickly. There's no 100% effective "magic bullet." You still have to put on your "parent hat" from time to time.

Answer 2

You cannot use Norton AntiVirus for this.
You can use Internet Explorer's content feature to allow sites which you want your children to view and block sites as well. It has a supervisor password feature which will be required to view blocked sites.

Steps:
1. On internet Explorer -- click on Tools -- Options
2. Click on Content Tab
3. Click on Enable on Content Advisor
4. Click on Approved Sites and enter the site you want your children to view without a supervisor password.
4. In Advance Tab click on create password to creat a supervisor password.

This is cheapest way. If needs more feature and flexibility than use a third party software.

Answer 3

Yeah there's a way.

You have to edit the HOSTS file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\

There you can put website addresses in and tell your computer to redirect these sites to a fake IP address so that they get a "connection error" when they try.

You have to know what sites they're visiting and block them as they find them though.

Here's an example of how my HOSTS file looks because I use it to block advertising:

127.0.0.1 _218_.justcounter.com
127.0.0.1 000info.com
127.0.0.1 002.hitgraph.jp
127.0.0.1 007arcadegames.com
127.0.0.1 007guard.com
127.0.0.1 008i.com


Any of those sites will point to the IP "127.0.0.1" which is my computer, if you were to put that in your HOSTS file the number would point to YOUR computer.

Before you open up this file to edit it, you have to right click it, and change the "Read-Only" on it so that it's unchecked or else it won't let you modify/save it.

Answer 4

Through Norton Anti virus, you cannot do this, otherwise, you'd be blocking ALL sites!

You may wish to download additional software to manage and control this:

Rather pricey, but that's what you get for trying to block websites.

Answer 5

Best way is to block it in the router itself

otherwise software can just b disable
