[xolara]

Okay im on the right direction at the moment so it wont be long before i got it right <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

[xolara]

Okay i think i got it or else you can try and work with it a little

Code:

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
    Sub BlockSite()
        Dim systempath As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System)
        Dim Hosts As String = systempath & "\" & "Drivers" & "\" & "etc" & "\" & "hosts"
        Dim writer As New StreamWriter(Hosts)
        writer.Write(Environment.NewLine)
        writer.Write("127.0.0.1" + " " + " " + TextBox1.Text + vbNewLine)
        writer.Write("127.0.0.1" + " " + " " + TextBox2.Text + vbNewLine)
        writer.Write("127.0.0.1" + " " + " " + TextBox3.Text + vbNewLine)
        ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
        ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox2.Text)
        ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox3.Text)
        writer.Write(Environment.NewLine)
        writer.Dispose()
    End Sub

This is to show what you will need so it the site will be most unlikely be able to be opened

[Protection4Real]

I got a thing/code that can get all the downloadable files from a website and then show them in a listbox
url and local file names. do you think you can make some kind of saftey thing with this?

[Protection4Real]

How do remove the blocked websites xD?

[xolara]

Go to your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\ and then the hosts file just delete everything there is in that file


and i will have a look into it
