Do you want to get rid of your Facebook addiction? Is Facebook preventing you to do your job? Are you not able to work efficiently due to Facebook? Well Facebook is a kind of stuff which becomes very popular within the short span of time and actually it has become the biggest addiction of many. People actually got stuck in it. Whenever they open their PC/ Laptops they first check their Facebook and after that you go to another work. And it not only stops here while you are doing any work it strikes in your mind and what you do that, time hold that work and start checking Facebook again. Many times you left the work undone and got engaged in Facebook and waste your crucial time.
Most of the teenagers of this century are completely lost in Facebook. You can see them online everytime. The addiction of it is on extreme level actually. From the starting on the morning from the time they got up till night until they go to sleep (sometimes whole night) they hang in it. Even though they know there is nothing in it but still they check it within each half an hour. In my point of view, it is a kind of disease. I mean Zuckerberg has made this tool for attaching people more closely, but sure this was not his intentions.
Its not only limited to teenagers even youngsters are also attached to it very much. Most of them use it to maintain their relationships with their boy friends/ girl friend. They chat over it for hours and sometimes they go sleepless whole nights and then face the problems of headache, body pain etc.
A survey has been taken and it comes in report that people who use Facebook too much, mostly forget the work they need to do and waste all their time in checking others updates and then get frustrated due to not completing the task within the time. Well, if you are also one of them and want to stay away with this big problem, then I have made this post only for you. In this article I will tell you the way of how you can block Facebook on your PC/Laptop so that not only you but no one can access Facebook in it.
Through this post you can learn how you can prevent yourself by accessing FB by blocking it in your PC. This technique is sometimes not good, but in order to stop a bad habit, nothing is bad in it.
For this purpose you have to make changes in the ‘hosts’ file present in C Drive of your PC. this ‘hosts’ file is found in different location in different operating systems. Have a look below where you can catch it in your PC
In Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vita and 7 you can find it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
In Unix or Linux you can find it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
In Mac OS 9 you can find it in system folder in Preferences
In Mac OS X you can find it in /private/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
Now save the changes you have made and you are done.
Windows 7 has a different method for it because in windows 7 it is not possible to edit the "host" file. approach is different for it.
1) Right click on the host file.
2) Go to file Properties
3) Now move to Security Tab
4) Now under group select users or user name and then choose edit button.
5) A new window will appear ‘Permission for Host Window’.
6) Now select users account and click all the check boxes under "Allow" name. Now you have granted the permission in ‘Permission for SYSTEM’
7) Press ok and done.
