My apologies. I operated from memory, and didn't verify the ZoneAlarm zone settings. The free version only allows you to put things into the trusted zone.

You might download a fresh copy of ZA. When you do, you get a 15-day trial of ZAPro, which would let you restrict access. After the trial is over, your settings are converted back to ZAFree, but your restriction may get left in place. I don't know, since I haven't tried it.

I forgot all about the restricted sites thing! An excellent choice... and the error messages about it aren't too specific [img]smile.gif[/img] I'd do this in addition to setting the loopback in the hosts file (setting www.friendster.com to 127.0.0.1). Between those two, it should be blocked nicely [img]smile.gif[/img]

Or better yet, you could map it to something else -- say, to Google. Then, when she tries to go there, she goes to Google instead. Or some other site that you'd prefer...
