That's not what you should be concerned about. You *SHOULD* be
concerned about trojans &/or worms that, one way or another, get into
your PC & would be calling out to infect others, etc.

Plus, many programs have their own agendas for phoning home, and a
firewall like ZA/ZAP at least alerts you of such attempts.
