hello,

Windows XP home edition sp2, Stand-alone system connected to internet via
cable, Lavasoft firewall ver.1.0.543.5722 (433) (Agnitum Outpost clone?)

Generic Host Process through svchost.exe, continually trys to send
information from my computer to various places around the world. Usually
port 1026 or 1025, UDP, outgoing. I need to allow this application
connections to my ISP for DNS resolving and other stuff. But, blocking it
from sending information to other various locations has no ill effect, other
than, i have to continually monitor it, like a baby sitter. Or create
complex firewall rules to allow what is needed and block the rest of the
horse crap. I have to run my firewall in "block most" mode or I will be
inundated with requests to connect to God knows who's ISP.

Is there any way to edit the damn application to make it be more secure?
