Networking - how to make an access program to the closure of the internet itself?

I have several programs that seem to be access to the network all the time.  These programs have nothing to do with the internet except for possibly updated or another service.

Is it possible to redirect the address that these programs continue to go to, to a loopback address that does not access internet?  (for example, 127.0.0.1)?

For example, power guard verification Bureau ' 72.25.195.217.in - addr.arpa "every minute or two, and network traffic stops whenever he does.

1 consider uninstalling these applications.

2. look in options/preferences of these applications and records their Guides the user and/or messages to determine if there is a way to configure the behavior you don't like.

3 ask the authors of the aid applications.  For example, if you mean by "Power Desk" PowerDesk Pro by Avanquest Software, free support is here--> http://www.softcity.com/support/software?softwareId=power-desk

4 buy a 3rd party firewall that controls the outgoing Internet traffic.  In general, it is not necessary to have a such montor, but in your case, it might help prevent applications "phone home".

5. do a little research on the hosts file.  This is as good a place to start as any--> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/hosts-files-explained/ unfortunately, your Hosts file will not help if the IP 'home' is hard-coded in the software (as seems to be in your example).

6. If you have XP Pro, read this thread--> http://www.ntcompatible.com/How_to_block_IP_address_NOT_URL_or_UNC_name_t23927.html (particularly after #118510) (to start IPSEC in XP Pro--> http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ipsec_start_snap-in.mspx
