Are there any Web site blocking softwares available?

No, i am not talking about parental controls...or like the kind...
i need a software which can block a site if i just mention its name.....
or something like....i dont want the site to be loaded even if it isnt harmful...

or can my browser itself do this job for me?????

Use the Hosts file to set the url of the website to 127.0.0.1 - scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see similar threads...
