Block them with a hostsfile and your computer will never connect to them.
This is the best way to avoid spyware and malware

To block certain websites on your PC, here' s the trick (for Windows):
Step 1: Click the Start button and select Run. Now copy and paste the following text in that Run box:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Choose "Notepad" to open it.
Step 2: Go to the last line of the file, hit the enter key and type in the following format:
127.0.0.1 xxxx.com
Eg: If you want to block facebook.com and myspace.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
Step 3: Save the modified file.
That's it. None of the above sites can be visited on your computer. One per line if you want to add more web sites. In this way you can only block website one by one, if you want to block websites in large scale, you can use a professional web filter which will help you easily block websites by keywords or URL. I have Aobo Filter for PC http://goo.gl/N4zWQC running secretly on my PC. It is not only a web filter but also a Program blocker. It can block games, applications from running on PC.

Which websites are you addicted to? Porn? LOL..... Frankly speaking, it is very difficult to completely quit porn. As long as you continue to use computer, you can not get rid of it. Quit computer before quit porn. It might be the most effective way.
