Question about Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

[BIGEYE]

I am considering KIS 2010 to replace my KAV 2009 when the subscription
expires. My qustion is can KIS 2010 stop programs from accessing the
internet without my knowledge (calling home so to speak), if yes, does
KIS do this by default or are there settings to change to prevent
programs calling home.

TIA

Personal firewall applications with outbound filtering capabilities can
catch *some* such attempts.
