My girlfriend's mother is an idiot. Not, you know, medically retarded, just incredibly stupid, gullible, and stubborn. I've cleaned the same set of viruses off of her computer 7 times now. Always infected via facebook. One of her 'friends' on facebook keeps telling her to uninstall Avast and AVG, and to download some trojan-filled clusterfuck that claims to protect against viruses but just invites them in.
I can clean her computer pretty easily. What i need is a firewall that will specifically prevent her from going to facebook. Ever. Just something that will redirect her to a plain white page saying something along the lines of 'the page you're attempting to access was blocked because it contained harmful viruses, we're sorry for the inconvenience.'
hostsfile facebook to 127.0.0.1 and run a web server
It's a bad idea, though. You're the gullible one for getting roped into always cleaning it. IT support is the most soul-destroying career you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, but you apparently do it for a hobby.

Read the title of your thread. The error is with the idiot, not the idiot's tool.
In any case, you could probably just add a redirect in her hosts file.
>>1 get her ubuntu, and selling to her it was the only choice available. Also, make her a restricted user. No rm -f, mv /dev/null, etc.. The rest send her to a local *nix group nearby or college. Bootcamp that woman.

"I forgot my password. Do you remember it?"
"Command line? Terminal?"
"Why can't I watch Netflix? This computer is stupid. You're stupid. I don't know what muh baby girl sees in your dumb computer-illiterate ass."
Yeah, that's what happens when you help stupid.
Wear a condom or you'll be tied via stupidspawn. You've been warned...

That's exactly why people need a television with facebook surfing abilities instead of a computer.
Tell her this:
"I'm sorry Ma'am, but I think you've been tricked into spending your money for a machine that you are definitely unqualified to use."

No, there's nothing wrong with getting a girlfriend. He's incredibly stupid for agreeing to become tech support for his girlfriends mom however.
