I tried creating an outbound filter that blocks connections to any port like John Ross described, but used a class C netmask on the IP 205.188.153.44
Example: Description: Block AOL's Instant Messenger. Type: Deny Interface: PRO Protocol: ALL Source IP: 0.0.0.0 Netmask: 0.0.0.0 Port: 0 Destination IP: 205.188.153.44 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Port: 0 It seems to stop AOL IM dead in its tracks on my machine...
