   That wasn't my point.  If you don't LOOK, you won't know if it is making   
   network connections, or not.  You could define a firewall rule to block   
   all outbound connects by the program, but you still won't if it is   
   making any, or not.  You can blindly block all connects that a program   
   *might* make, or you can see connections it makes to determine yourself   
   which, if any, to block or allow.
