Is there a way to block access to a particular web site from one computer?

1. Yes but that's difficult on normal browser

You need to edit the host file. It can be found at:

windows 95/98/me
c:\windows\hosts
windows nt/2000/xp pro
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
windows xp home
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open that file with notepad and add stuff like:

127.0.0.1 a.as-us.falkag.net
127.0.0.1 cdn.fastclick.net
127.0.0.1 z1.adserver.com
127.0.0.1 global.msads.net
127.0.0.1 rightmedia.net
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

Basically you say 127.0.0.1 followed by the FULL URL

You need to close the browser and reopen it again for the changes to take effect.

Edit: In your case: 127.0.0.1 voyeur.com

2. Grr. I had twistys going on here...

Called them up and cancelled it.. told hubby if I ever catch him spending money on this stupid sh*t again I'm taking his card and never giving it back. Also withheld certain things until he got the point :)

I wouldnt mind if we had the extra $30/mo to spend but we're on a one budget income for right now.

3. Why pay for porn if you can get it for free??

And the real thing as well (and the virtual stuff when aren't looking)

4. I showed him the torrents and he said

that he didnt like to sit there and wait for them to download.. he liked the instant ones.. ugh...

Oh.. and as far as the real thing? My OB told me no more until I deliver (end of August) so he better not be getting the real thing!!!

5. Oh holy s*(&! You mean we are paying for the privilege of www..Voyeur

That is one I am not aware of. Please God, tell me this is not true!

6. It's probably adware

So run an adware check over your computer as well.
Most likely IE or Outlook Express picked it up.
Firefox / Opera / Webmail etc. is a good alternative and at least it'll protect you quite a lot from infections. I've disabled stuff like Java, Active X, Plug Ins etc. so it's very hard to get through to the computer anyhow.

7. Quite honestly, I can't see straight right now. Thanks for your help.

I have to go get really drunk right now,.

My sweetheart prefers www.Voyeur to me.

I'm not feeling well and I'm very angry and I'm even pissed off that I am posting this here for everyone to see.

8. Download and run adaware

And get that spyware out of the computer. Then you might want to try to add a permanent block to the site in the host file, but that's more tricky stuff.

On Edit: Nobody knows you. Well not the real you. So don't worry. I've visted voyeur sites as well, but at least I never got caught LMAO

9. "My sweetheart prefers www.Voyeur to me"

I doubt that's true. But I'll let him explain it to you. Is masturbation not allowed in your relationship? (I don't really care to know: it's a rhetorical question.)

10. Go take a leap off a very high bridge!
