How to block sites

when I use the yahoo search or any search I am redirected to a another site with link loosely related to what I typed into the search bar and I can not get to the resulted links I click on ..we need a way to Immediately block sites like this. does firefox have its own search engine? I am tired of google and yahoo search.

When I open Safari on my iPad there is a really annoying Greek site www.weeklyprizewinner.co-net I can only get shut of this site by clicking OK and then shutting it down. Until I do that I cannot use Safari. Is the any way I can put this site into a blocked list? or is there an app that will let me bar certain sites?

  • How do I unblock Block site blacklist?

    I accidentally put this on and cannot take it off. A notice appears on the bottom right saying www crossed out and the site is block site blacklist (or not on whitelist) How do I fix this?

    Firefox doesn't have any sort of built-in site blocklist. You'll have to open the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category and configure the options for whatever extension you're using that adds this feature.

  • How to access block sites on maemo n900?

    i bought n900 from saudi arabia and insert a saudi sim card(mobily) but i can not access any block site like hi5 and some educational sites from another countries. in s60 divices i access this block sites by opera mini web browser. but in n900 opera mini is not supported as it is a .jar applications. if there is any application or tips to access block sites....................................? help me maemo team...................................

    I've been using the .Mac service since it was known as iTools and was "free".
    I only made about ten pages using Homepage (only two with iWeb) since I'm not a big fan of bloated template generated page code.
    I've been adding my own "home brewed" pages directly to my iDisk Sites folder for years and I've even discovered a method to "borrow" Apple's hit counter to use on these pages.
    My point is that you can make changes to the html code to add things to iWeb created pages but your changes will be removed the next time you Publish.
    A simple workaround is to drag your iWeb page folder (iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb) to your iDisk Sites folder. Then make your edits to the page code.
    The URL will change from web.mac.com/username/iWeb/foldername to homepage.mac.com/username/foldername
    Some examples of my home brewed pages:

  • How to block a page (from a business job searching website) from appearing on my screen without me searching for it?

    How to block a page (from a business job searching website) from appearing on my screen without me searching for it?

    Look under:
    System preferences > Network > WiFi > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > DNS
    There should be two or more IP addresses there.
    Those addresses should be EXACTLY the ones your current ISP provided when you signed up for service. They do not start with 85 or 86 -- those are hacker sites.
    If you are in the US, you could also use OpenDNS:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

  • How to block articlee for purchases

    we are planning to block some of articles for purchases. However we want to allow for stock transfers using stock transfer requests( ME21N-UB doc type).
    when i kept 01 Blocked for procment/whse in X-site status of baisc data tab system is not allowing for stock transfer order creation also.
    plz suggest how to block articles for purchases without impacting for stock transfers.
    what is the usage of follwing selections for blocking
    01     Blocked for procment/whse
    02     Blocked for task list/BOM
    03     Blocked for Purchasing

    Hello,
    If you want to block articles from procuring into DCs and do not want to block DC to Store movements, you may block articles in site-specific Block status (MARC-MMSTA) in Article/DC view. So DC to Store STOs can be created.
    You may see the definitions of various blocking statuses in transaction OMS4. For example, 01 Blocked for procment/whse means blocked from Purchasing,Forecasting and RP (No Message, Warning or Error Message).
    Thanks,

  • Safari will not work due to blocked site

    I am trying to use my Safari browser a blocked site keeps showing up...genio.com???

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • How to block MacKeeper and other browser ads

    how to
    block MacKeeper and other browser ads

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How to block facebook on firefox

    Can someone please tell me how to block facebook on Firefox? Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have succeeded on a WRT310N.
    Go to the Access Restriction Screen
    Enter a policy name under  the appropriate field
    Set staus to enabled (IMPORTANT)
    Click the Edit List button  and enter the PC(s) you want restricted.  If using assign IP automatically and DHCP  set the IP range that covers the DHCP range.   If you want some PC's to have access and some no access,  make the PC's you want to have access as a fixed IP address.
    Set ACCESS RESTRICTION to allow
    Set the schedule.  (You may need to create multiple policies if you want to allow it part of the time
    Enter the URL you want restricted  in this case www.facebook.com  (up to 4 sites per policy)
    Click on save settings
    Make sure that you are operating in the time frame you specified and test the blocking.
    Since this policy will allow internet access only during the schedule specified,  if the schedule was not 24 hrs,  you may have to create another policy to cover the other time.
    Hope that helps

  • How to block https g00gleapis in Firefox?

    How can I block ajax.g00gleapis.com and fonts.g00gleapis.com in Firefox&? I use privoxy for blocking sites and their content but it does not filter https content.

    I tried to solve the problem via /etc/hosts and iptables but to no avail. Then I remembered that there were no such problems in Firefox 30 so I downgraded to it from current version 31 and everything is fine now: Firefox does not "freeze" when loading pages with javascripts referring to mentioned sites.

  • How to Block LAP1242 AG connect WLC

    Hi Friends,
    Did you meet this issues that the remote site (US) AP 1242 always connect to our site(ASIA) WLC 5508 (maybe some DHCP configure caused when troubleshooting, right nowDHCP back to normal. only enable vendor and option 43 for 1262 and 3602, no option 43 for 1242), but now we cannot block these AP1242 to join our site 5508 WLC. even I reset the 1242 AP to default configure from WLC GUI and CLI , but it's still there in a mins.
    Since in our site Core SW, Router cannot find these AP mac address, and also those AP not the IP address in the WLC GUI and CLI . SO we don't know where it is?  can you pls help?

    Well that is how to block APs from joining:). If you know these APs have to join a specific WLC, then create a dhcp option 43 for these APs or temporarily create a DNS entry for these APs to join the WLC it is suppose to. You can't just block these APs from joining if you have mo ility between the WLCs and or if your using option 43 and or DNS that helps these APs join the WLC. So now what your stuck with is making these join the right WLC. When you do that, then remove all your option 43 from dhcp and disable the DNS so none of the APs will be able to join the wrong WLC.
