A good personal firewall such as Sygate or Zonealarm that alerts you of any
(unauthorized) outgoing traffic (and allows you to take any appropriate
actions - Allow or Block), particularly such as this and other malware, may
be something you could consider.

Remember to also use non local admin accounts for day to day business which
can significantly help lower malware infections at key system folders.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!
