Now, that's ironic. Every time I compile my VB6 program, Windows XP tries to call home and tell Microsoft about it. So they've written anti-spyware software with spyware. . . 


Will it still compile if you block the call home with something
like zonealarm or have the computer disconnected from the
internet?

Yes. The application calling home is the MS DTC Console. Long ago I put a permanent block on any outgoing communication from it, and have never seen any ill effects. Its only function seems to be to send information to M$.
