    Can you tell me if there is any free program that I can install on my old friend's computer so he cannot access a **** site again?

    Broni in the Malware and Virus Removal section has just finished helping me clean off his computer from the XP Security 2012 Virus.

    This is the third time my old friend has gotten a virus due to his addiction to **** sites.

    Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I hate to see him get another virus as it seems as though it takes days to erase it from his system.

    Thank you for your help.

    You can configure his computer's DNS to OpenDNS, create an account & block whatever site you want.

    Hi,
    Thank yo for your prompt replies.
    Yes my 84 year old friend is active in mind only. I think he is just bored.
    I don't want to have to pay for a program and I don't understand about the OpenDNS instructions so I just went into Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Security and made it "High" security on everything.

    Thank you again for your help.

    Jean
