How to firewall one program only?
I'd like to prevent one program .exe (eg. myprogram.exe) from
accessing or being accessed to and from the Internet. I'm using Windows XP SP3. I'd rather not use a full blown software app though (like Norton or McAffee) since I already have a firewall in my router which unfortunately can only block entire domain names or websites. Please advice. Thanks.

I'm hoping there's a small specialize program somewhere whose only purpose in life is to frustrate one .exe program from ever making or receiving any calls. Thanks.

From: "WaIIy"
| Perhaps you could do it with your hosts file. Google it up. No. a etc/hosts file is only to specifically state the IP address of a given host name. It is used when there in there is DNS Server or like the MVP Hosts File for misdirection of known bad sites. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
