How to Block IMVU
IMVU is a 3D social interaction website, with avatars, chat rooms and forums that let people interact with each other. If you want to block access to this website, you can do so by modifying a system file that your computer uses when looking up websites. This change is reversible, but as long as it is in place, you'll be unable to access IMVU from your computer.
