Are you sure you made the correct changes in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts?

This does seem like a stopgap measure though, it doesn't cover all possible myspace.com subdomains..
i found a site that listed something like 20 or 30 myspace subdomains and i added all of them. I'd rather block a range of ip address though.

I don't run bind or anything in front of her machine, although i am considering building a small BSD firewall now.

Thanks for the info, I will keep this in mind.
