You can hobble it if you want to go through the trouble. However there
is Real alternative, (if you want to access Real Media content), for
PC's at least, though it doesn't always work on streaming data. Still
it's better than installing a spy on you machine.

On my machine, only NS is allowed to access the internet without asking and updates are turned off. Although you can train Zonealarm to not allow access (click the "do not allow this progamme ever" type box) it's educational to not do that for a while

Try installing Real Media player if you dare!
It wants to phone home all the time.
