Thanks for the tip. I downloaded and installed the freeware version of
Vista Firewall Control and it seems to work great to control outbound
connections. You do have to go thru the minor inconvenience of giving
approval _one time_ to your programs that routinely make outbound
connections (e.g., web browser, email client, antivirus products, etc.
etc.) but once you do that, it works very nicely, and no noticeable
slowdown of the system at all. I'm still running both the Vista
Firewall and ZoneAlarm Free concurrently and have had no conflicts or
other problems. Probably overkill but what the hey.
