Bon Voyage dissatisfaction
Ruann:
rundll32.exe is typically a windows required process and is not likely to be the process you think is attempting to "phone home" from in the game. It's literally a program that reads DLL files and places the libraries contained in them into memory so the computer can use them.
Now, some viruses disguise themselves as rundll32, so make sure your defs are up to date anyway.

Concerning the lag...I installed ZoneAlarm and also decided to bypass the launcher. Apparently for me bypassing it did little anyways...by the time the game got to the loading screen it had attempted to contact the internet at least six times. If not bypassing the launcher makes it do so even more...I hate to think...lawdy.
And guess what...my game loaded SO MUCH FASTER. Gee, now I wonder why it loaded so slow before hmpph :-\
Aggie:
Does anyone know offhand if I can simply delete the launcher from the game files, or will that cause a BFBVFS?

First annoyance, then more data on the lag issue (not that I have much lag).
Annoyance: A houseguest doesn't appear on your UI control. Ok, no biggie. But the kid who invited the teen girl he met on vacation has the most awesome room ever (a virtual forest) and he and his guest were "camping" in his tent bed and talking. He left the tent. There is no way to prompt the girl to get out of the tent. Clicking on it only gives the option "Get In". It's been three hours, and she's sitting there in the dark tent by herself like a doofus. I found the only way to get her out was to pull out some leftovers and do "Call to Dinner...Guests".
Lag: Just an observation. I was playing with my firewall settings. I noticed that the Sims 2, each EP, Bodyshop, Homecrafter, and a couple Sims-related sub programs were set to always allow (no entry for EP6...just the launcher, which I'd blocked before and the game worked). Well, there's no reason that anything but EALink needed the 'net, right? So I blocked 'em all. Game wouldn't load. I just got a never-ending black screen. Putting all back to allow fixed it.
Now why would it not work unless one of the EPs or the basegame is trying to dial home and it's getting pissed at my firewall blocking it?
