How Can I Block Bebo?
When using Microsoft Windows, the easiest way to block a site such as Beebo.com is to add it to the Hosts file with a loop-back IP address. This Hosts file is checked by your computer's browsers when a Web address is entered as a first step in resolving the Web address to an IP address. If the site is listed, your browser will use the posted address to visit the site. By using the loop-back address, when anyone enters Beebo.com into the Web browser instead of doing homework perhaps, your browser will attempt to load the page from your own computer, which will fail with an error.

Tips & Warnings
Add any site you want to block to the bottom of the Hosts file with the same IP address mentioned.
To unblock a site, remove the line from the Hosts or type "#" before the line text. This will "comment out" the text and cause Windows to ignore that line.
