As far as Windows OS is concerned. I did find out that after an upgrade
(before WMP9), WMP phoned home quite a bit! :-( When I installed WMP9, it
was like a teenage daughter. Constantly online doing something, I had or
have no idea what it was doing, so I went into Outpost, and blocked it! That
could be yet another solution as well Donna. Get Outpost or Zone Alarm may
serve the same purpose. I prefer Outpost though.
