Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREEPublisher's Description
From ComputerHelp.com:
URL Blocker helps social media addicts, shopaholics and gamers avoid favorite sites so they get work done. Internet Addiction has become a huge problem. Many people waste serious amounts of time on Web sites strictly because they are addicted. Examples would be social network Web sites, video sites and message boards. The URL Blocker lets the user choose which site or sites to block according to a date or number of minutes or hours that they also choose. Once a block is activated, the user cannot de-activate it except by uninstalling the program located at ComputerHelp.com The URL Blocker works for all Windows-based computers, and unlike other blocking software, takes effect automatically on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The program includes password protection, preventing others from blocking Web browsing without the user's knowledge or permission. No data is collected before users can download the program, and the URL Blocker shows no ads.

"Suspicious little piece of software"
Version: URL Blocker Verion 1.0
Pros
it goes straigh to the point, block X URL for X time, that fine so far.
Cons
Cant delete an URL, I added one to expire in one year, what now?
If messes with the HOSTS file, but with an external IP which under the wrong hands could be hijacking, tracking information and even whorst, pretending is X site to get your info.Summary
Wouldn't be easier to use 127.0.0.1 as the destination IP instead of a "who knows" whos ip?

"THIS PROGRAM IS A DISCRACE"
Version: URL Blocker Verion 1.0
Pros
There are no pros for this virus
Cons
It takes over on starting the computer and has very liittle functionality. You can not uninstall either.
Summary
To get rid of this program do the following. Open 'Windows Task Manager" (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) Look at top of the task bar and choose "Processes" look down to an 'Svc Host. exe" file using about 1,766 K. With the task manager still open go to your "C' drive and open 'Programs' folder, look for Url Blocker folder and open. Click on svc host icon in that folder should be an orange and blue icon. Open and close url blocker and watch the value on the particular svc host. exe go up and down from about 1,766 K to 768K on the far right of the task manager panel. When you are sure you have the right scv host highlight it and press the 'end process' task button on the right lower corner of the task manager. You have now stopped the svc host for url blocker and you can close the url blocker folder, right click the mouse on the url blocker folder and delete it. When you restart the computer Url Blocker should be absent. BEWARE THAT YOU STOP THE CORRECT "SVC" HOST" AS DESCRIBED OR YOU WILL CREATE MORE PROBLEMS TAHN YOU SOLVE. Happy computing.

"Terrible -- Trashes Host File Entries"
Version: URL Blocker Verion 1.0
Pros
waste of bandwidth and time to download this.
Cons
Uses hosts file to block URL access (very weak scheme ... use notepad to defeat) ... trashes all the other entries in the HOSTS file (for those of us using HostsMan).
Summary
You need to go to their website and download a separate program to remove the application (unless you're smart enough to use GoBack when testing new software)... trash like this should not be allowed in download.com ... essentially it's a program to make timed entries into the hosts file ... when the time is up, it removes the entry from the hosts file. big deal.

"Buggy to the Extreme!"
Version: URL Blocker Verion 1.0
Pros
Great idea. I could really use a program like this if it worked.
Cons
On my Windows XP machine, it gives "I/O" error messages constantly, though still seems to function. On my Vista machine, it won't load properly at start-up, won't kill, and won't even uninstall with the separately download-able uninstaller!!!
Summary
A complete nightmare. I have no idea how to get this thing off my Vista machine now. Whether I try and use the actual program or the uninstaller, it just gives an error message stating that I don't have permission. And in the meantime it barrages me with constant error messages of its own just from running in an improper state on the taskbar (it won't even load into the system tray on Vista like its supposed to.)
