Hey all just checked me e-mails today & found one dated the 03/03/04. It is a warning about my activities of P2P on the 13/01/04. Where do you stand with something like this?

Has said above get an ip blocker, the best is peergarudian. It is free and updated othen. The only problem that I have had with it, is that it hogs a whole hell of a lot of system resources

the site is www.peerguardian.net

Well i don&#39;t want to float ya boat, i have Peerguardian pr14, not arsed about CPU usage as i have P4 3.06 HT, so i think it maybe able to handle it & another few things.

The only thing is, i&#39;am not sure if i had PG at that date, it does sound right about the time as it only logs what time i tried & my comp is on 24/7, so i don&#39;;t where i could have been or DL from at the time.


So it&#39;s kinda freaky for me, as i don&#39;t want to get busted, not like i&#39;am a big fish. Well AOL sure does Suck, i made a mistake cause it was recommanded to me, boy was i wrong in signing the Agreement, but 6 months or so to go & i&#39;am finished with em for Good.
