You could also try switching from windows to OpenBSD and using PF
as your firewall. Of course there is a rather steep learning curve.

O/S?
Duane :)

I used to run Windows (with MKS Toolkit too). ZA's warning messages about
MS modules trying to call home are what made me switch to OpenBSD.

You can turn it off on some PFW's

Best thing I've done in years. Now running in text mode only because
of the big security hole opened up by giving video cards access to
main memory (google loic duflot).

I have never had a problem and I don't run PFW(s) on my network. However, I
do use one on this machine while sitting in this hotel room, as I got no
choice. But the App Control is disabled, which I did long ago.
