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.

Rename myprogram.exe to myprogram1.exe and that idea goes out the dorr.

Assuming the name never changes? 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.

| 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.
