You can use the BlockSite extension in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3145/

Or, you can install some Parental Control software, like this. http://www1.k9webprotection.com/

Or, you can use the HOSTS file to block specific domains from loading in any web browser installed or plugged into ("portable" browsers) that PC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOSTS
