Some of my programs are accessing the internet and i would like to
block them from access. I used to be able to do it with sygate
personal firewall but mcafee will not run with sygate and insists I
use windows firewall.

Thanks in advance,
Barb

AFAIK , windows firewall doesn`t block outgoing . ( I use Comodo )

ZoneAlarm does outgoing. You have to allow or deny every program one
time as you use it, then it remembers (if you so tell it to).

There is a free version at:

Get rid of McAfee and go with AVG, it's free.
