Default Norton 360 - blocking a specific URL not the site

Hello,

I use Norton 360 and I want to block a specific URL under the Cartoon Network website. I basically want to stop my son getting to the Ben 10 mini site, but not Tom & Jerry, for example.

Is there a way I can do this ? I dont want him getting to http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/ben10/index.html but http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_sho...rry/index.html is OK. He is only 4 by the way, and as soon as my back is turned for 2 seconds he is looking for Ben 10....

Dave

it depends on how granular the URL/Domain filtering is in Norton 360

if it can filter URL's can't you just put the URL in

if it has "act on first hit" logic then you might have to put the deny before the allow

Are you using Internet Explorer? Firefox? Google Chrome?

Looks like with the Norton Family software I can enter the full URL but it blocks the site not the specific URL.

I use Chrome but my son uses IE (have a few links on the favourite bar).

In IE just go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Sites.
Enter the URL and click Block.
