Can I use a host file to block my kids from downloading stuff from torrents. If so what must I add to the host files. Is is the 127.0.0.1 and then the url address of each torrent address..Can anyone advise me please
Have a look at this tutorial Hosts File : Use in Windows 7 / Vista
You are right about "127.0.0.1 and then the url address of each torrent address"

Much obliged to you Bongo .. I guess I just needed permission...I was hoping the firewall could be used..
Malwarebytes Premium will block torrent sites.

However, it can be easily defeated by disabling Malwarebytes depending on the permissions granted the user.
Windows firewall allows access based on programs as well you can deny torrent exercise from Internet
