Yes, I know that this is over 2 months old and that the OP is probably long gone;

but it's still on the first page with no answers

so I thought I'd answer it anyway,

the only method that I've been able to find is to use a "bi-directional" Firewall

that's capable of filtering & blocking incoming & outgoing requests

 

ie ZoneAlarm, etc.

 

in the firewall's control panel you create rules etc.

and then "browse" for & block the .exe files related to the program you wish to prevent connecting to the web,

creating a new block rule for each .exe until you find the one that's the part of the program that's phoning home.

Thanks for the replies....we have learned to live with it

 

Now if i could find out why the install is failing I'd be a happy camper!

EMC 9 is very old and I don't have it on my computer. In later versions under the Home screen top menu there should be an option to not get updates. If the EMC is question is a DE (Dell Edition), then there is no way of doing that. The DE owner needs to contact Dell.

 

For Example in Creator 2010, in case anyone searches for the terms and gets here, it is here:

I agree with Richard Fdisk.exe. I couldn't find any off switch so I used my Internet Security Suite to do the job!
