Typing in websites and clicking on block under Internet Tools isn't working, so I guess I'm stuck to going to a software program.

Anybody know of any good programs to block specific websites?

Add the sites in your hosts file that you want to block.

You basically null route the sites via IP by changing its DNS to 127.0.0.1
