How to block certain websites from being

Is there a program/application that I can download which will allow me to block certain websites from being accessed by my own computer?
 
You'll want to search for a personal proxy software. I can't think of any off hand, but I know they exist. Otherwise you would need to set up a seperate proxy server, such as squid with dansquardian or squidquard.
 
Adding a line to the HOSTS file is another option. Open up Notepad, then use Notepad to open C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\HOSTS. By default it has one entry:

127.0.0.1 localhost

If you wanted to block mechbgon.com, you'd add

127.0.0.1 mechbgon.com

below the first entry.
 
You can also put a real IP address in place of 127.0.0.1 if you want. At work I have one computer which redirects YouTube and MySpace to 207.46.19.254 😉
