Default blocking programs

Hi all,

i always thought blocking was easy, just use it windows firewall and job done. but what i cant figure out is....why cant i block msn messenger and paltalk?

is there some sort of blocking software out there which can do the trick for me?

i have been on google for a while now me head is spinning with all the info i got from there but none of them seem to have worked as of yet..


thanx

blocking the necessary ports will do the job

if you have netgear router for instances you can block the ports for messenger etc etc

if you want to which ports to block then you need to visit this site
