For IE:
open IE-->>tools-->>Internet options-->>security-->>restricted sites

Add the site which you want to block.Also there are many parental control software for this.

Another way would be to set up a simple proxy server.

Try this,

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Edit the Hosts file and add a line at bottom

127.0.0.1 www.site.com
127.0.0.1 site.com

Try this,

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Edit the Hosts file and add a line at bottom

127.0.0.1 www.site.com
127.0.0.1 site.com

You would still be able to open the site using its IP address
