How Do You Use Windows Defender To Block A Program From The Internet?

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I'm using Windows Defender as my firewall. I have an annoying program that always connects to the internet when I start it. Windows Defender doesn't ask me if I want to block it or not. How do I set Windows Firewall to block that program from the internet? When I went to exceptions, that program isn't on the list. Is there some way to manually select a program to block?

Answer:Click on start, control panel, windows firewall, change settings, make sure it's on, and then go through the "exceptions" list and make sure that the program you're trying to block isn't checked

Is WINDOWS DEFENDER Effective Enough To Protect Me From SPYWARES And The Like?

Vista users use this Windows Defender antispyware.As far as I know I can have more than one anti-spyware but I can only have 1 antivirus.I wonder if Windows Defender can give me n assurance that it could protect my system even without having to install another anti-spyware such as AD-ware.One thing I worry is that Windows Defender seldom updates itself.
