- save the hosts file as a copy on the desktop as hosts.txt
- rename the hosts file and remove the .txt extension
- cut and paste the hosts file back to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and replace the old version

What this does, is that whenever a secret program or process is trying to secretly send or receive information, they are instead directed to a blank internet IP address (0.0.0.0), therefore blocking any transmission of data.
