access-list 1 deny 226.26.26.26
access-list 1 permit any

int e0
ip access-group 1 <in|out> <-- stops packets with SOURCE address of
226.26.26.26

or

int e0
ip multicast boundary 1 <-- stops packets with DEST address of
226.26.26.26

Don't forget that when dealing with multicast the source address of the
packet is a regular unicst address while the destination address is a
multicast address. So, if you want to prevent multicast traffic from
crossing an interface in either direction , the destination address must be
the address that's looked at. Also, notice that the ip multicast boundary
<acl#> has no direction parameters. It stops the specified multicast traffic
in both directions.
