How to Block MSN Searches
Some employers might find certain social networking sites or search engines to be a major distraction for employees. In this case, blocking MSN searches is the best way to rectify the problem. The best way to block MSN searches is to prohibit access to the site in its entirety. As long as the site cannot be accessed, no searches can be conducted, which alleviates the problem. You can configure your browser settings in about a minute. You need administrative access to perform these steps.
