Do you know a good engineer/shop to block Facebook from my son's laptop. He's 10 and getting unwanted
messages.
Thanks for your help!
Paul.

you should be able to do it on your router so he can't access it from a phone on wi-fi etc either.

Do you know what model of router you have conencted to the phone line/cable connection?

look at opendns.org

or just edit the Hosts file on his machine to add
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
remove the http:// bit from above - STW is auto adding it
I use opendns to block the social media sites during the week.

What sort of unwanted messages? Blocking the website isn't going to stop emails.
