Yup, you have to remove it first for it to work again.

Just press CTRL+S on your keyboard. It also will save the data :)

Maybe it is your computer OS problems.
Sorry that I can't help for that.
thanx
can someone help me i blocked facebook but i can't unblock it? because i can't find where i saved it to lol can someone help me asap?
Hello,
Hmm, lets try this method if you wanna find the file where you need to paste that code.
I assume that you are using Windows XP.
First, go to My Computer and click on C:/ drive. Then, open the Windows folder. After that, search for system32 folder. Open that folder and search for drivers folder. Inside that folder, open the etc folder. Then click on the hosts file. Click open with notepad.
Then, paste the code given above. Press X at the notepad and save it.
well i can't find it and i really wanna no how to delete it do you reckon you can teamview it or possibly? give me a more detailed description?. please
omg thank you so much i got it your a pro how did you get so good with computer's?

All you have to do is to revert back the process above.
Then try to press CTRL+F5 on your keyboards.
If still didnt work, clear your browsers cache (firefox) at Tools > Advanced > Network > Clear Now
some one please tell me how to do it -it wont work
Mine looks like this now, I saved it but when I refresh facebook, it's still there. Anything wrong with what I did?

hey does this work on windows 2002 service pack 2 coz i tried and it ain’t workin on my machine.
Since leaving Facebook is so hard, we figured – why bother? Instead, a day-off might do us some good. Tuesday seems like a good day for that. Who’s with us?
http://nofacebooktuesdays.com
I found that working with mentioned settings is little too hard for me, it simply won’t work. Also I just wanted to block facebook during Mon-Fri since my kid goes to school then, but to leave him one hour and weekends free to use Fb. Since I don’t see myself modifying something all the time I would recommend this software to block facebook. It is not free but very cheap and saves time and trouble.
Sorry missed a link to software… FB Limiter. http://www.facebooklimiter.com
thanks
it really helped me getting rid of facebook

I tried to block facebook using this method, however, somehow it removes itself from the hosts file? Any ideas?
That seems to be a big task to me as I am not fond of command prompt. But its also looks to be a good tool for me to block facebook, which I do not like.

Uhm.
i got it to work on internet explorer
how do i get it to work on google chrome?
If the notepad does not let you save, the short answer is you need to open notepad or the command prompt, by running as administrator, and it will let you save.
Long answer:
1. Start->All programs->Accessories
2. Right click on notepad->Run as Administrator
3. Select Yes for the dialog with *ding* sound
4. Then Select File -> Open -> My Computer -> C: -> Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc
5. Now you won’t see anything in there. So, see at the bottom where it says Text Documents and change that to All Files
6. Now you will see hosts
7. Double click and open that
8. put all those lines above.
9. Now Save and it will let you save.
Hope this helps!
i did all still its working buddy
Oh and strangely enough you have this site connecting to SpyBook?
This method does NOT block facebook, if you come to a site like this that links to facebook.
You will see in your firewall an IP like this, 69.63.189.34, and facebook is connecting to your pc.
The only way to stop it is to make up firewall rules for ALL of facebook domains and IP ranges which are so many that this would take you a long time.
They have made it virtually impossible to stop SpyBook spying on you.
TANGA!

Hi,
I have a huge problem and I was hoping that you might be able to help me block a site/game using this method. This site/game has a regular site but is also accessed via a telnet client to game play. Even though this is a game it is a very adult rp game which is refereed to as mudding this site/game even tho it is claimed it is family oriented it had not only major violence it also has online sex (since everything it typed via telnet the sex can get pretty realistic), even though my son is 12 and makes it known other gamers as they refer to themselves don’t seem to care and pursue my son in game and off sexually. I have tried everything I can to try to block this site/game to no avail and was wondering if you can help me. This site/game is destroying my family due to my sons addiction to it, and the various violence and sexual content. As I said the game has it’s own website, how ever the actual game play is accessed via telnet client via the site and it’s ports etc:
the log in looks like this on the client:
host: (which is the site)@ —-.com
Port: (one of two port numbers can be inserted here to access the mud)
what do I type in telnet to block this site and the ports so that my child won’t be able to access this very adult game?
I hope that you can please help me figure out how to block this horrible site, as the next step will be disconecting the internet if i cant figure out how to block it.
Thank you
