  1. Windows has blocked access to file


    I'm trying to update a program which I use to communicate with FDA but windows security keep blocking me, the warning reads "to help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file". I try turning off real time virus protection but it doesn't work. Help. Thanks.

    How To Block Facebook

    Step 1. Explore C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
    Step 2. Look for a file named as hosts, then open it with Notepad.
    Step 3. At the bottom of the file, add the line as shown below:
    127.0.0.1 www.blockingsite1.com
    We have just shown you www.blockingsite 1.com as example only, replace it with the actual URL so that they are inaccessible to all.
    Step 4. Simultaneously if you have more websites that would like to be blocked, just press Enter and repeat step 3 to add additional URL until all desired websites are added. Now make “Enter” at the last line of the UR
    Step 5. Save and close the file.
    After doing the above formalities all websites that you have entered will be blocked with immediate effect. Definitely this theory will help you to prevent certain websites from being accessed by your kids or anybody else for any reason.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    How To Block Facebook

    That's not going to stop a proxy. If you want to stop someone proxying you'd have to block their proxy server(s).

    The only way I figure you could do it (without knowing what proxy server(s) they're using) is with deep packet inspection on the client computer (in case they're using encryption).

    Any decent gateway server should allow you to block the codeen network and other common proxy servers/services (like Tor). Still not 100% perfect, but it's probably easier to implement than deep packet inspection.
