how many people here know what a trojan is? hands up. thats right. everyone does. so when program x asks for permission to access the internet nobody will allow this to happen. the world is a safer place. nowadays the trojan creators use virae to hijack windows own processes and use these to access the internet. who is going to stop windows svchost from accessing the internet? not many people would. but they should. if a windows prog asks for access out of the blue with no recent windows updates or new windows progs running, then block them.
