Block and unblock a website

Sometimes,eventhough we have access to the internet in colleges some sites like orkut etc are banned.

Now, the 2 qts that arise in mind are
1)How is that blocking done??
2)How to overcome and unblock??


Blocking a website:

For eg you want to block www.xyz.com !

1) Open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

2) There you will find a file named HOSTS

3) Now,open that file using notepad(right click and open with notepad)

4) Now, in the file under the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add another line as 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com.

5) Now, File>>Save !

Now if you try opening www.xyz.com,it will not load

Unblock a website:
To unblock a site,just remove the line added in HOSTS file.(sometimes you may need to restart to load the site)

Removing USBWorm

If you find this message "I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE…" when you launch Firefox or this "Orkut IS BANNED, Orkut is banned you fool, The administrators didn't write this program guess who did?? " when you try to launch Orkut

then you are system is infected with w32.USBworm. Don't PANIC, this worm does not destroy your files or damage your computer.

This virus spreads through USB drives. It will not let you install Firefox and if it's already installed in your PC, it won't let you use Firefox!

The virus is known as heap41a W32.USBWorm
