How to prevent internetaccess except for webbrowser

Hi,

Working online via a mobile internetconnection, you can understand that I want to limit the programs (like windows update) that have access to the internet.
So I want to disable all internetaccess the moment internetconnection is made with a mobile device except for the webbrowsers (IE, Firefox and Google Chrome).

Is there an easy way to:
1. Monitor programs that use bandwith on internetconnection
2. Block these programs from internet (except for webbrowsers)
3. Allow all access when ADSL internetconnection is present

What would be a good approach?

Is it possible to set things up in such a way that the user of that computer only have access to the internet via the webbrowser. All other programs will be blocked.
Which firewall software can do this in an easy way?
You can do both of those on the comments you posted above. Although every individal expert has there own preference on the type of firewall that they like the best. Mine is
Comodo Firewall for Windows

Very secure, and allows you to do almost anything to the internet connection. would be the one I would recremend.
