I'm not sure who it is, but someone on my computer is goin to one of those websites where u can watch movies. I'm trying to block access to the site so it doesnt come up, or if possible display what I want when they access the site. Is there anything I can do?
 
How do I OpenDNS the computer? and if possible can i reroute the site ?

What I would like to do, is build a page with html/css saying we were warned by our ISP about the movies/site and since I'm the one who pays, whoever is watching woont try any other sites
 
Open up the hosts file in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc (use notepad).

In here you can add whatever entries you need and redirect them to any domain you want (or just 127.0.0.1 AKA Home).

Example:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# ......................................................................
# ......................................................................
# ......................................................................
# ......................................................................
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
 
To OpenDNS it, go to opendns.com. Basically what you are going to do is route all your traffic through OpenDNS' DNS servers. By doing that you can block sites on a site per site basis or a category like "Porn" or "Spam.
