For firefox you can use a plugin called blocksite
http://ffbrowser.blogspot.com/2007/01/blocksite-firefox-add-ons-mozilla.html


After installation the plugin appears in the tool menu
Tools > Blocksite
If you click on Blocksite a window opens where you can click on add button, you can enter the url or the address of the site to block. You can blacklist and whitelist sites there.

For internet explorer it is as below

there are two ways to do it. One is go to the menu bar of your browser. Click on Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites
Enter the name of the site and Click On Block button. Click OK to Exit.


Another way is to edit hosts file. This applies to all browsers.If you are running win XP, login as administrator. open the following file in notepad
C:\ WINDOWS \system32 \drivers \etc \hosts

Put the following line in hosts file:
(put the name of the site to be blocked here, appending 127.0.0.1 before each website to be blocked)
127.0.0.1 www.blockme.com

127.0.0.1 www.blockmetoo.com

save the file. This file can not be opened and edited in Limited account

If using Internet Explorer Windows XP
Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Security Tab > Restricted Sites > Sites (enter the sites you would like to block)

If using Firefox

Using Content Advisor to control access
The Internet provides unprecedented access to a wide variety of information. Some information, however, may not be suitable for every viewer. For example, you might want to prevent your children from seeing Web sites that contain violent or sexual content.

Content Advisor provides a way to help you control the types of content that your computer can gain access to on the Internet. After you turn on Content Advisor, only rated content that meets or exceeds your criteria can be viewed. You can adjust the settings.

With Content Advisor, you can:

Control access to Content Advisor settings. You turn Content Advisor on, and view the settings, through the use of a password. You will need this password to change any Content Advisor settings, so you might want to write it down for future reference.
View and adjust the ratings settings to reflect what you think is appropriate content in each of four areas: language, nudity, sex, and violence.
Adjust what types of content other people can view, with or without your permission. You can override content settings on a case-by-case basis.
Set up a list of Web sites that other people can never view, regardless of how the sites’ contents are rated.
Set up a list of Web sites that other people can always view, regardless of how the sites’ contents are rated.
View and change the ratings systems and bureaus you use.
Content Advisor is set to the most conservative (least likely to offend) settings when you first turn it on. You can adjust these settings to match your own preferences.

Not all Internet content is rated. If you choose to allow other people to view unrated sites on your computer, some of those sites could contain inappropriate material.
