    Disable all network cards.

    Outgoing connections are used by windows update and web browsers and by adobe acrobat updates ...

    Sorry about that.

    I want to block programs from accessing the web (VLC Media Player as an example) I can do this easily with Comodo Firewall, but how do I do it with Windows Firewall??

    Start > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

    In the Action tab, select New Rule

    Follow the Wizard.

    For some reason I thought I had to download something for it to work.
