Hi,

You can go in to terminal and filter certain websites.

follow the instructions on the webpage below and it works a treat!

Personally i use Gas Mask It's a little app that allows you to add content (Any Annoying Websites popup's add's etc.) to your host file.

If you do not like messing with the terminal then use Gas mask, you can't go wrong.

It's easy and fool proof and as never let me down.

Thanks!

Indeed, Is easy to follow the instruction, yea! I got rid of the mackeeper

This must be about hidden URLs which load without you wanting when you hover near them unawares

Someone wrote the best answer in a WikiHow. I'll give the link to that. But first, he got it slightly wrong, so I'll write the corrected answer here first

No new software required. You must use your terminal shell. It does not hurt

go one directory below applications to service programs? On my computer Dienstprogramme. You want Terminal

It's a nice bash shell. Edit a file called /etc/hosts

$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

add a new line below all the others giving the loopback address and the COMPLETE site address you want to block

127.0.0.1 www.********.com

write your edit away. You don't need to boot but the man said clear your DNS cache

$ sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

his explanation leaves off www. and it didn't work for me until I put that on. However I am duty bound to give his URL, since he gave me 99% of the answer, thank you sir

this helped, thank you!

That's a rather insulting comment. To extrapolate on your view, people who use spam blockers or antivirus software are also those who lack the self-disciplin of a normal adult.

Brought me here too.

iOS let's you block specific websites... time to bring that to OS X.

There is a new malicious scam site that invades Safari and pops up an ad that won't go away, no matter if you click Stay or Leave.

DO NOT CLICK THIS: http picfsff jordanschultzhasasmalldick-andruns-tech-support-mobilemadhatter com

You can try to block it via Terminal manually - one site at a time.

Unfortunately Apple does not have a protective measure for Safari to block unwanted hack sites, unless you use a parental control account.

Admin account has no protection and will always be a target for malicious hack site attacks.

Way to go, Apple!

Thanks for nothing.

I came looking for an answer to the same question. I want to block INCOMING, unsolicited sites.

smaragd77 answered the question on July 3rd.

I came here to block a specific shopping website that spams me. I, like the original poster, might not have the same self control issue as some might assume. Let's love more and judge less in life.

Perhaps if you had the open-mindedness and compassion of an educated adult you would know that there actually is a way to block specific sites. Part of learning to stop visiting certain sites is to condition yourself that certain sites are bad. One way (and also extremely efficient and effective) of doing this is reminding yourself that the site is bad every time you visit it, because a lot of times people will go from website to website unaware that they've fallen back into the same pattern of behavior. If you block the site and prevent yourself from accessing the site enough times, eventually you can develop self-control. As well, it begins the train of self-control that these people can apply to other areas of life as well. I'm sad that your instinctual response to this person's plea for help was to not help them and to assume they're some kind of inferior being.
