Stopping applications using gprs/3G

My 5800 is currently set up with my wifi connection as priority 1 and with confirmation required for GPRS and 3G conections. This seems to work on all applications which all prompt me before they open an internet connection. However, I've just installed the Microsoft Tag reader application and this doesn't bother prompting me and uses GPRS regardless. Is there any way to stop applications doing this? Surely as my phone is set up to require confirmation this shouldn't happen?

It only transfers a few KB at a time but as I'm with Virgin Mobile they charge 30p regardless which is a bit annoying.

Any ideas how to stop this? Does the 5800 allow applications to do what they like with GPRS without you being prompted first?

Move your gprs and 3g connections out of your "Internet" folder in Destinations. Move them to a new one called "Others" or something.

Thanks for the tip. Only my 3g connection was in the internet folder, gprs was in the wap folder (it was gprs that the application used). Do i need to move it out of the wap folder too?
