Sure there are lots of personal firewall programs you could put on their machines, but they may notice that it's there. Some might let you put an administrative username and password. Although I don't know of any that do that off hand. Two programs that come to mind are ZoneAlarm and Tiny Personal Firewall. You can find many more on google. Another option would be to use your network firewall to block those peoples ip address from accessing port 80 outbound. There are probably lots of other ways, but that's the best I can come up with at 4:30 on friday.
