How can I block a url from accessing my browser?

I want to block a url from accessing my browser. The url in question, djbsaqja.co.cc, flashed a pop-up saying that my computer was infected with a dangerous virus and that "Windows Security" required that I download a program to fix it.
I maintain realtime virus protection, but ran a manual scan anyway, which proved that I was clean.
The url listed above would not let me out of an unending chain of popups, demanding that I download their tool.
Instead, I opened a new Firefox session (it was the only way I could re-enter Firefox without this rogue url taking control), then cleared out my history, cache and cookies.
I'm clean...and now I'm back in control with, I believe, no damage. But since I wrote down the url, is there a way that I can block from accessing my browser again?
Thanks for the help.

You can add it to your hosts file - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file
Sites like that pop up on a regular basis, but will often get taken down quite quickly. I have just checked and the site appears to have been taken down.

  • How can you block a URL from access?

    This URl (http://reduled.info/3131) keeps coming up as mal in Avast. Can a specific URL be blocked?

    Your Firefox is probably hijacked.
    You mentioned Avast, on their suportpage there are several entries about reduled.info
    Start windows in safe mode and run several different anti- virus / -malware / root-kit programs.

  • How can I block Server Admin from accessing a server?

    I've got a G5 FTP server running Server 10.5.7 that sits outside our firewall. Oddly I find that I can enter the IP and login info via Server Admin and voila - I have access. All sharing services are off and all remote access services in System Prefs are off. I want this system totally locked down except for the FTP server app I run. What do I need to kill to prevent access via Server Admin? Or anything else for that matter?
    My concern is that via Server Admin someone could really mess things up and of course turn on services that would grant them full access.
    Thanks

    Oh sorry - I put this in the wrong category.
    I'll duplicate this in the 10.5 section

    HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY I PHONE5, THANKS

    You can't. Contact your carrier and ask them if they provide such a service. Most carriers do not, unless the text messages are threatening or harassing, but you can ask.

  • How can i block PO adopt from PR with no release tab

    Dear Experts,
    I need to block PO creation ( by adoptation of PR) from PR which has no release tab active. Kindly help me how can i do this.
    From unreleased PR , PO can not be created and it is standard SAP function. But if PR has no release tab then PO can be created from that PR and no error or warning is there. But i need to block PO creaation from the PR which as no released tab active.
    Please help.
    Kind regards,
    Zusen

    Hi Zusen,
    Would not be good idea to place those PRs in release strategy? In this way PO(s) will not be created until PR(s) is released. Have a look at release strategy of PR under the path; IMG-Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Requisition-Release Procedure
    Otherwise you have to develop some coding. You can use BADI: ME_PROCESS_PO in order to control unreleased PR. If EBAN-FRGRL is NULL in PO then you can place an error message as you want.
    Kind regards

  • How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?

    I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
    browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
    opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
    posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
    topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
    As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Hi, ecoulyn,
    You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
    of the Jump button.
    The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
    Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
    pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
    secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
    .chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
    when the Jump button is clicked.

  • How can i block my iopd from downloading any internet browser from the app store

    I would like to make my ipod touch unable to download any kind of internet browser from the app store, while still keeping internet access avalable for apps

    There is no way to select just a genre of apps like that.  You can use restriction settings to disable the ability to install apps, and you can disable Safari - that way no active web browser and no ability to download and install any apps.  Apps already installed that use data access will still run just fine.

  • How do I block a computer from accessing connection via wireless router?

    This is my first linksys router.  My previous one had an option that i could choose to block a specific computer from accessing my wireless connection.  I cannot find an option like that with my linksys router.  I have to leave the connection open becuase of issues with other computers in the household not being able to connect with security being used.  Thanks!

    what is the model number of your router?
    if the wireless security wont work try to use the mac filter.you have to get the mac address of your computers in the house and you have to input it in the mac filter window on the set up page of your router.

  • How can i block an iPad from linking iMessage with my iPhone?

    Okay, so my friend has recently discovered that his parents' iPad has his number linked to the iMessage feature. So basically his parents can just go on the iPad whenever they want and read all of his messages. Is there any way that he can block the link between the iPad and iPhone?

    They can't read all of his messages, only his iMessages. This sounds like an issue your "friend" needs to take up with his parents. If he is a minor and his parents pay for his iPhone then they are most likely within their rights.

  • How can I control print quantities from the main browser?

    So here's the workflow question
    I want to select photos to print but I want to print a different quantity depending on criteria. The photos may be in different albums, etc..
    Selecting them all and trying to set the quantity in the Print Order window is painfully awkward.
    What I really need to be able to do is browse my photos and assign a value to them where the value represents the number of prints that should be created for that photo.
    For example, I can assign those colored lables quite easily by just pressing  CMD-1, CMD-2, CMD3, and so forth.
    So lets suppose I navigate around my photo collection and I assign a color to particular photos where the number of the color represents the desired quantity.
    It's very easy then to create a smart album that just shows the photos that have been tagged this way.
    However, there is no way then to order prints in one go with the appropriate quantities (other than the manual mechanism in Print Order window) and if I order them as separate groups, I have to pay shipping costs multiple times.
    I'm wondering if someone has created an automation script that can use the color (or some other textual tag) that can then be used to submit a print order with the quantities of each photo derived from that color or textual tag?
    I hope this question makes sense, it feels awkward to describe.

    If you have an iPhone, you can go to the app store and get Keynote Remote for free. The trick to make it work smoothly is to first establish your Macbook Air as wireless network. Then you use your iPhone to control the slideshow remotely, by swiping from slide to slide -- even from quite a distance.
    Turn on your Macbook Air's airport (wi-fi), then select Create Network.
    Once your Macbook Air is turned on as a network, open Keynote on your computer and your slideshow, but don't start the "view slideshow" mode just yet.
    Open up Keynote Remote and if it doesn't connect automatically to your Macbook Air then select the network in Options.
    Then start your slideshow from your iPhone -- you will notice each slide appearing on your iPhone as a reference.
    If you still have difficulties linking, go into the Keynote preferences menu on your computer and make adjustments in the tab Remote. (And don't be fooled by the Bluetooth option -- strangely at this point it doesn't work between the iPhone and the Macbook -- only wireless.)
    *Extra: You can enable "speaker notes" to show up on your iPhone below the picture of the slide.
