and scroll down to the end of this file and add this lines
1 2 7 . 0 . 0 . 1 w e b s i t e n a m e . c om 1 2 7 . 0 . 0 . 1 www . we b s i t e n a m e . c om
NOTICE Replace W e
b s i t e n a m e to the website address you want to block On
your computer. These lines you just add redirect the website which you
blocked to 127.0.0.1(Local host or Local IP) with the help of windows
hosts file. When the website blocked is tried to access, it will bring
an error message saying; "Server Not Found" because the is no
server located at Localhost. In the Lines above you notice some thing
that at the first address line there is no WWW and at the second
address there is WWW ... The reason is that if you add only the first
address line, the website can be accessible using WWW. and if you add
only the second address line it can be accessible without adding WWW.

ways..
