    At step 2 when I enter sudo nano /etc/hosts and press enter, I get a little symbol of a "key" which will not allow me to enter my administrator's password. Any suggestions to overcome this?

    When the key symbol appears, type the administrator's password and ignore the fact that what you type doesn't show up on the screen, then press enter. The password is just invisible on your screen for security reasons.

    I have found that with some websites you need to add multiple versions of the url to get the block to work, such as one line with the 3 w's before the url and another without it.

    You can adjust a site's status from "always allowed" by accessing your iOS settings. Open the "Settings" app, scroll to "Screen Time," then tap on "Content & Privacy Restrictions." Under "Content Restrictions," select "Web Content." Choose "Limit Adult Websites." To block specific sites, tap "Add Website" under "Never Allow" and enter the URL.

    In Safari, open Preferences, click the Privacy tab, and then click the Manage Website Data button. Search for MacKeeper and, if you find a cookie for mackeeper.com, select it and click the Remove button.
