Generic Host process for win32 services doesn't require access to the internet, the only problem I have with blocking it is that my computer clock won't update. Every week or so I change the status to ask update the clock and change back to block. As for the hotmail program you've got to give it access or you won't be able to read your mail. You can alter the status by simply right clicking an application and selecting which option you require.
..................................................................That's what the warning was for. D'OH !
