Default How do I stop Windows Vista from "calling home"

The "VistaFirewallControl" from Sphinx Software is nothing more than a
friendly user interface for the Vista Firewall. It allows you to
allow/block in or out communications with the internet without you
having to get into the nuts and bolts of advanced Vista Firewall control
settings.

It is ***NOT*** a separate firewall. You leave the Vista Firewall running.

Well there ya go, it is a good day when you learn something new.

Many thanks, much appreciated.
