Not sure if this is the best way, considering that you have to add every permutation of the website to block it. The router could work, but as I mentioned in the actual OP, the work is being taken care of for you for the most part, and that's kinda the point of this. Just have to redownload the list once in a while.

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Open the file as an administrator, and then add the links in there. It doesn't always work right and I find that you have to block:

http://www.abc.com/
http://www.abc.com
http://www.abc.com/
http://www.abc.com
abc.com/
abc.com

You can also go directly into your wireless router and block the sites from the router. That way your GF using your wifi won't be able to view those sites as well.

Host file is annoying - yes - but it does mean that if you uninstall your browser or launch a different one it always works.
