Default Looking for Freeware tool to Ban and Redirect sites

So, here's the scenario:

I want to ban some websites because they are annoying as hell, and some of them contain *errr* "photo shoots" that I find objectionable.

So, lets say I want to block agkidszone.com and "silently" redirect them to google search. When I mean silently, there would no "this blocked by" or "website banned" messages. How do I do this? Is there a freeware tool to do this?

OS: Windows Vista Home Basic

Thanks!

the only way I know of doing this would be to use a linux distro as your firewall /webproxy and get that to do it.

I use smoothwall, but by default it'll show it as blocked. I'd be surprised if you couldn't change the settings so it redirects instead of blocking

YESSS!!!! I purchased a NetCore 605GR Wireless G Router. It has the option to ban websites! No more "photo shoots," Barbie Girl crap, AGkidszone crap and other annoying as hell sites! w00t! Now I can browse in peace.
