How to Block a Website in Internet Explorer 9


Many people use my compute to surf in the Internet. However, I don't want them to open some specific websites. Could I block those websites in IE9 so that others who use my computer can't open without my permission.
Solution
Using IE's content advisor to block certain website.
  1. Open your IE browser. Click on "Tools" which looks like a gear, and then select "Internet options".
