The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Hmmm, I wonder if we can expect your brother to come on here to ask how to remove that block soon after you do it :p
    I believe the best way to do it would be through the router btw, no idea how its done. I just know it can be done that way :p

    It's simple. Tell your brother to stop going to facebook or you'll password protect your computer.

    It's your computer and your rules. If he doesn't respect you enough to follow your simple request, then he doesn't need to be using your computer. :rolleyes:
