follow-up - worked great.
Hello, Montgomery and others-
this worked well. I edited the host file to block 'myspace'.
my teen stepdaughter has gotten good at developing myspace pages, and friends ask her for help to do theirs. looking for all that garbage they put on their websites, we kept getting viruses - mom was on her side 'my poor baby' etc. for a while, 'we' had said: no myspace.
my stepdaughter worked around that by looking at others at thier home, then helping them develop theirs, then one day we noticed she had her own.
'we' let the myspace rule fall by the wayside the way 'we' do with a lot of rules.
well, so we have gotten a blaster virus a few ties recently. i have cleared u pthe problem.
most recently, she got the computer infected yet again with a 'blaster' virus. she gets up from the computer, tells me ' the internet is broken,' and heads off to watch tv.
no apologies for getting the computer i bought i build i use for managing money working from home etc. computer messed up yet again by her getting the comp infected. no asking for help. she later said she assumed i would just fix it. yet again.
so ,the wife tries to get on the computer. asks me why she can't get the internet. i tell her to ask her daughter. so i get in trouble because i am starting an issue. yeah right. so i call the daughter in the room, and ask her - 'can you tell your mom what is wrong with the computer?'
well, it is fixed now. no more myspace.
thanks again techspot!! y'all are great. this is the best computer tech place on the web.
