Not harrassment ... it's about configuration. Look at the
applications in the options and simply select "block" for NT kernal.
I suspect you have selected "ask".

Since you asked this question, you may want to look at the advanced
feature for each allowed application and only select "act as client"
at this stage of the configuration.

Finally, only select "allow" for those applications you are 100%
certain need to access the Internet. If you are not sure, at least
select ask or block.
 
For further guidance ...
