Well, the point here is that the executable manages to connect to the internet even though I've told norton it can't have internet access. There are a lot of situations where you want to keep applications from accessing the internet (spyware, virus etc).

Therefore it interests me how the q4 exe manages to get a connection. If it can connect to the internet then other applications might as well.
