Locate and open System 32 Folder on the list of folders under windows.
See image below:
3. Proceed to open Drivers folder
4. Having opened the Drivers folder, go ahead to locate and open etc folder
5. Locate and right click on the host file that is a text file as seen in the picture below and choose either notepad or Open With to enable you select notepad.
After opening with notepad, you will see the text document with codes as can be found in the image below
6. You will locate the last line of the code, and type your own code. Let’s say I want to block youtube.com and facebook.com, I will type the loopback address of the network card of the computer which is by default 127.0.0.1 followed by a space and then type the url of the site you want to block.
E.g 127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com.
Having done that, Click on Save. Then go to open your browsers,type any of the urls blocked and you will see that the site cannot open.
One more thing lest I forget, sometimes certain antivirus programs do not allow you to update host file without restrictions, in that case you may need to disable the antivirus so the host file can save.
For systems running microsoft essentials, follow the same step above to disable should it restrict updating of host file
