Disabling internet access
I know that it is possible to manually add a programm to the exeptions list of a Windows Firewall.
Is it possible to manually disable the access of an application to the internet yousing Windows Firewall for XP? If so, how can this be done? Is it possible at all?

Thank you

Hi,

It's better to use a 3rd party firewall- please read this page:

http://www.consumersearch.com/www/so...ls/review.html about firewalls, and down the page a bit, you will have your answer about outbound traffic with the XP Firewall.

Yes, that is what is in the link I posted and why I posted the link. And, why I posted that it's best to use a 3rd party firewall to do what they want....
