The latest version of Zone Alarm Pro does stop all applications from
accessing the net outbound unless specifically authorised, and it does
check the executable by checksum to make sure it hasn't been changed.

Right up to the moment the end user, annoyed by the continuous popups,
authorises mshtml.dll - which is used by several malicious-by-design
worms (including Outlook).
