How to block unwanted application from internet in firewall

Asked By Dennis A Newton 0 points N/A Posted on - 05/24/2015

I want to block many applications in the windows 7 run PC in home. I have to do this because, I have limited data usage and things such as automatic updated of third party applications shouldn’t consume any data. Also, I have installed many handy tools which loads the ads from the internet. I think, if the application is able to load ads, it can also send a few details to third party. Hence I decided to block all unwanted applications. Kindly suggest me on how to block all software which I have installed from internet access?
