Blocking Unwanted withWindows File (Host.dll)
The Host file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local machine. Another feature of the HOSTS file is its ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists.
You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, web bugs, and even most unwanted sites . This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems.
we just need to open n edit host.dll
Windows –> System32 –> drivers –> etc
then u type unwanted site’s, for example :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.xxxxxx.com
127.0.0.1 www.yyyyyy.com
