my niece has a bebo and msn account and my mum wants to know if she can block her from using MSN at home ... and also can she do anything about the bebo account too.

I'm no computer genuis, but I"m sure there's a way of blocking websites from being viewed (anyone?).
If so, maybe remove MSN from the computer and block MSN's website (so she can't re-download MSN) and Bebo, while she's at it.

She could just delete the msn download - I haven't used it in years but if it's still the same as it used to be, you download a programme so that you're able to use it.
As far as the bebo thing goes, she could either block the website or delete her whole account.
How old is your niece? Is it her grandma who wants to block it, just for when she's visiting her place? If that's the case, she could just block bebo and remove the msn download.
ETA: Snap mamapickle. Will just try to find info about blocking the websites...

Here's the info from another thread...
Go to INTERNET OPTIONS - CONTENT tab - then CONTENT ADVISOR - ENABLE - and you can set to block any site you like

How old is the niece and how computer savvy is she? Even if you block the site and delete msn the program there are sneaky ways of using both

Or she could create different users on the computer, e.g. she could be "administrator" or similar and have access to everything. Niece could log on as "visitor" and have limited access, for starters no MSN.

Alternatively if the blocking doesn't work - she should sign up to bebo herself and monitor.
My mum made us read a hefty 'internet safety for kids' book before we were allowed to use the internet unsupervised.
