It has a much better port blocking program. If someone is using your information/address in spoofing... then they'd only have needed to steal your header information once.
yes, windows 7 has an outgoing firewall --it's just default to off (to discourage piracy?). you can block specific programs in the advanced firewall settings. although it's not particularly user friendly
I use a program called "windows 7 firewall control" which just adds a more visual/user friendly interface to the existing w7 firewall. It pops up asking permission when a program wants to send data, etc.
Not sure I understand the question, but if you mean literally emails, you could delete your smtp server info in your email program?
Is this a computer you use for things other than primary email and you want to remove the chance of it being used to send out virus emails (or unauthorized emails)?
For those confused by the question: latest trend in copyright protection for expensive design software packages involves a protocol that 'phones home' every time you start an application and checks for validity of your serial number. A way to circumvent this has been by blocking the 'phoning home' part.

How do I prevent my computer from sending outgoing messages?
I'm using Windows 7.
I've tried ZoneAlarm and Comodo, but neither are compatible with Windows 7. I end up with the blue screen.
Can I just set up my firewall to block certain programs?
Info or guides would be helpful.
Thank you very much!
Use Kaspersky.
