I have window firewall turned on, and I've tried to checking off "Don't allow exception" and checking off the program from the list of exception on the firewall exceptions tabs...

However, the program is still able to connect to internet. No warning notification ever comes up either.

Why is that? And is there actually ways to block a program from accessing the internet using window's default firewall? (I know there are 3rd parties program like sygate which could do that, but it slows down my computer a lot)
