The easiest way is to put an entry in your hosts file that will resolve to localhost, your own machine. That will effectively block access to the website, but it will block both IE and Firefox from that site.

The default location for 'hosts' is:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

entries should take the form of:

127.0.0.1 www.google.com

The IP address that you want it to resolve to, followed by the domain name. As stated, that address is the loopback IP which (unless you operate a webserver) won't bring up any page.

It's a low-tech solution, and easily defeated with good IT skills though.
This works perfectly, thanks a lot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
