The hosts file is an effective way to block a website.  If that did not work for you, I suspect you did not do it right.  Here's a reference: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/in-windows-7-rc-trying-to-route-a-local-domain/5daa95ae-88fd-4a2c-b889-d57ecdb5a983 and here: http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-7/edit-hosts-file-in-windows-7-windows-vista/

If you were not running Notepad as Administrator when you first tried using the hosts file, be sure you start Notepad as Administrator, as stated in the two references.
