Solved Help needed "unblocking websites" please help

[vengefulspartan]

my brother blocked several websites on my desktop that I regularly use like YouTube deviant art and so on for no other reason than because he is an asshole that knows his way around computers.

now every time I go to those websites error message "this page can't be displayed" pops up immediately any tips on how to unblock them? any help is appreciated

Does this happen to every website you go to or just some?

 

[vengefulspartan]

just the ones he blocked everything else works fine

Please do the following
1.
click the start button and type in cmd and click enter
type: ping 173.194.46.78
Let me know the results of that.
2.
Go to this location:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

There should be a folder called HOSTS in there. Open that with Notepad and copy and paste that here.

Who is the administrator of this computer??

ping statistics: packets sent 4 received 3 lost 1
approximate round trip times in milliseconds: minimum 203 maximum 217 average 209

I've copied the text from the HOSTS file into a word document and attached it to this post because it was too long

to layback bear: the pc is for family use so really anyone who uses it is the admin though it's mostly used by me and him

Are these the websites you are not able to view?
[FONT=&quot]www.wowwiki.com, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]www.wowhead.com, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]hackerbot.net, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]elitehacksor.com, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]www.youtube.com


If so, you will need to remove those entries from the HOSTS file. You will need to remove the url and the 0.0.0.0 next to the urls. Do not remove any of the other entries in there. Here is a how-to on how to do this: Windows 7 - Edit the Hosts File[/FONT]
