computer help: how can i prohibit access to myspace on my computer at work - Help.com

Problems with Myspace.com, Friendster or Bebo.com?

Generally speaking, if you are having issues with those sites it is best to contact their support staff directly. These links can get you started:

Myspace Support, Friendster Support and Bebo Support

If you are trying to access these services from your school and are blocked, we suggest you abide by the schools rules while you utilize the schools equipment.

Get computer filtering software.

Why would you need to? (just curious)

He’s a business man, doesn’t want employees to slack off?

Or you could try calling your ISP if you aren’t good with computers.
Just say you want it blocked from your network.

but he says “on MY computer”…not his employees. Maybe he wants to stop going to his myspace from his work comp so he’ll be more productive? I’m curious too why he needs to know how…

I’d be easier to have software though, with software you can block any site you want, without the hassle of calling the ISP.

Ya, but if it’s kids they are keeping off you know that in a week
we will get a message asking how to get past it lol

true. I myself used to be in “blocking software hell”.

Is the poster still here?

Don’t think so.

Ken, idea for the site, the ability to tell when the anon is no longer on.

Now thats a good Idea

good morning, i am the “anon” original poster. apparantly you have to explain to total strangers the ‘why’ you need help. i am an office manager in a retail business who employs part time summer help. while i am not against myspace in any way, i have heard several complaints from employees regarding accessing myspace on company time, especially some of the part time employees. I am going to block access to several (not all) high profile computers that I do not want accessibility to myspace. if there were no complaints, i would not have even cared. (i have also removed the games from these computers) everyone needs down time. so, if anyone could help, it would be great! i am looking for the ip address, though in my short time of doing research, i realize there are several proxy sites, and it may well be useless, but i am doing my part. thanks!
