If you are using a router, there may be a site blocking feature on it. Check the manual for details.
Otherwise, you can use the HOSTS file to block limewire.com
To do this, open the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in Notepad.
Add this line:
limewire.com 127.0.0.1
Now you'll find you can't get to limewire.com
BEWARE, though - this will block the official site for limewire. There are plenty of other sites that offer limewire for download - some of which have included spyware and adverts in it. Your friends would do more damage to your computer installing one of these rip-off versions.
Your best bet is to tell your friends that you won't let them use your computer if they install it. After all, it's YOUR computer.
