There is another solution.
Use a personal firewall. Among other things, It warns you when any program wants
to access Internet, and permits you to decide what to do: enable or disable it forever,
or more than that, enable only in some circumstances (you can tell it, for any app,
to filter certain IP addresses and port). The firewall remembers your preferences
everytime you change them, for instance enable Internet Explorer to access Internet
only on port 80.
For example, in my case, when kernell32 (the windows core) wants to access, my firewall
stops it from doing that.
You can find personal firewalls in any software repository. I use Sygate, but there
are lots of them (Norton, ...).
I think it's a must to have a personal frewall for all of those heavy Internet users.
Best regards,
