I'm looking for a way to block some webpages on a computer. If the user visits, let's say, <a href="http://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/</a>, then an error window will appear (I don't mind if the error is inside the browser or on a separate form). Some antiviruses/web protection softwares do <a href="https://www.google.it/url?sa=i&...wOeWgCPF0-6bdYDXoQrg&ust=1415032310349485" rel="nofollow">this</a>: please note that I'm interested only in blocking a little and specific number of pages.
I've already searched on the web for this. I found lots of examples, mostly about <strong>hosts</strong> file.
However, nothing on displaying an error page when the user goes into a "forbidden" page.
The code to edit the <strong>hosts</strong> file is this:
My application has administrator privileges to copy/delete system files.
I'm working with <strong>VB.NET WinForms</strong>, Visual Studio 2013.
Thanks,
