How to block Yahoo search engine.

Anonymous

I wish to block yahoo completely from my desktop pc (or at the very least make it extremely awkward to try to recover it).

I vaguely recall it has something to do with the DNS of the website, but I might be wrong.

The reason for this request is because I have a porn problem and do not want to be tempted to see porn material on my pc as much as possible.

All I have to do is type a porn model's name in Yahoo's search engine and the 'Images' tab shows the model in the nude. Even in public libraries,

you can access this **** material, despite porn software being installed.

The search engines Google and Bing have parental locking system (‘Safe Search’) which I have set up. Unfortunately, Yahoo does not have this feature.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kashif Noon,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There is no real way to totally block Yahoo on different devices, you also mention in a library, Yahoo does have basic safe search settings, have you tried the steps they provide on the link below, that is about the only option for Yahoo.

If that does not suit your requirements, the best option may be to ask on the Yahoo forum to see if they have an option to help you.
