Your brother will now hate your gutsHow do you block websites on your windows xp computer?
See Retricted Sites settings and note these are circumvented although they also have some utilites that install a zillion like block porn sites registry keys and all right to the restricted sites in ther registry. These can cause "incremental damage" to the Windows Registry (google it and Microsoft Imposed Registry Size for XP etc).
Again, this is an ancient feature in windows no matter what browser you are using and has been circumvented and does not always work.
Note that I am not knocking things - as today's cyber criminal underground tries to break into everything and circumvent all. This is one area they walk right past and these other Restricted Sites Utilites are a basic false sense of security anymore. For a non malicious content website blocking (adds infections) like what you are mentioning - meaning like an average good site but you want to block - this will proably work just fine.
In the Windows Registry there are like a couple values used by browsers for like Security Zone of like placing a website address in normal, restricted, or Trusted Sites etc. It's like simple one liners of values like 0-4 and when you manually place a site in Restricted Sites to block the browser from going to it - it just adds that registry key value for that site to like 4. That is just an example and not the actual number value.
