Without knowing anything about your setup/network it's hard to tell you much
here. The windows firewall cannot block outbound traffic. You'd need
something else - either hardware (firewall appliance) or software. This is
not as simple a task as you clearly wish it to be, unfortunately - and I
also question whether it's actually necessary as you haven't provided enough
info for us to know whether your PC is actually compromised. You'd need to
have the recipient of the offending message copy/paste the Internet mail
headers and send this to you, so you could investigate it.

If you're on a company network, someone should be managing your network
security and you ought to ask them for help. If this is a home computer, you
need to provide a lot more info in order to get help.
