I don't mean any offense, but aren't you exacerbating that which you
call "clueless" by offering such not-so-sound advice? It seems to me,
if one has enough of a clue to grasp the concept of malware/spyware
and to use/activate a firewall, would it not be safe to assume they'd
also be able to grasp the concept of allowing a program to pass?
Especially since most firewalls I'm aware of, automatically ask
permission for such!

Perhaps clueless lies closer to home than you realize...
