A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from the Internet. But who protects your private data from being sent out or software calling home ?
I installed Little Snitch on the Mac and was amazed how many applications try to call home.. and Google is one of the worst offenders.. using LS you can allow or deny access ..
Does anyone know of a similar program for Windows ?

Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge. Little Snitch runs inconspicuously in the background and it can also detect network related activity of viruses, trojans and other malware.
