You're referring to the 20 or so programs listed in the Program Control
panel, Programs tab -- that one of these might be a disguised trojan? Or
are we talking about potentially one of the 400-some-odd components in the
Components tab? (ouch)

Ah -- now I get what you're saying. You're saying that any program I've
(possibily inadvertently) given access will barrel on through unless I
specifically block these ports. But I don't see any way to specify ports
that I want ~blocked~ -- all I see is a way to specify a range of port
addresses to ~allow~.
