Rundll trying to access the Net

This is a discussion about Rundll trying to access the Net in the Customization Tweaking category; This is extremely irritating. Often when I try to install new programs, Rundll is trying to access the net, and Norton pops up with that stupid message. Well, I am not stupid (Which Microsoft obviously thinks), and do not need all that automatic Crap.

I had/have the same problem, but I'm running ZoneAlarm, so I
set it to 'never allow rundll32 to access the internet' and
now I don't get bothered any more.
 
Can you do the same with Norton?

Yeah, default zone alarm to "DeNiEd!" Like when the post office stamps your envelope "Return to Sender"?
