How Can I Completely Block an App from Accessing the Internet?
Is there a way to do this with windows firewall?
Another way? I want to use certain applications, but completely deny them access to the internet, going out and coming in.

But in all seriousness, I believe if you use ZoneAlarm (great free firewall program), it allows you to set these kind of things.

Although I think this will change in Windows Vista. In XP, outgoing connections can be blocked with IPSec rules, but it's a severe pain. You're better off downloading and setting up a third party firewall.

I went with Zone Alarm Free Edition. Seems to do the trick.
