I took matters into my own hands by delving into the system files, specifically C:\Windows\System32\host, and deftly edited them using a trusty notepad to add domains I wished to block, thus preempting potential attacks.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
