When I first switch on, 4 programs try to log onto the internet.

How do I prevent this?

Many thanks for any help.

Install and correctly configure a firewall to block all access without user

Thanks for the reply Trent,

I have Mcafee Internet Security 7.0 installed but cannot see how to
accomplish this
