Peerguardian V1.99.....

Hi guys,

PeerGuardian v1.99 is slowing down my computer, it is using about 14,000-15,000k in task manager. Each time i turn on PeerGuardian v1.99 my computer starts laging. I hope someone here can tell me what i am doing wrong, or what i can do to make this better.

Are there any alternatives too PeerGuardian v1.99, that r better?

My copmuter is: Intel P4 2.8 Ghz
1 Gb DDR RAM
2x 120 Gb 8mb casche Seagate HD
And the rest is good and up to date too

I hope someone can help me with this. :D

Thanks

What firewall do you use? and have you considered importing the bad Ip ranges into your firewall,cant be beat this method, not by peerguardian anyways

How do you put those BAP IPS in Zone Alarm Pro

do u have pr7 or pr8? pr8 slows down the comp speed a lot. and it takes up more ram. get pr7. same thing

EDIT..Cheers to REALITY, (Sorry about wrong credits earlier)

This is for people with Zone alarm 4..basically it lets u set up rules for blocking bad IP ranges...
if u have a problem setting it up I can help ya, and such

finalized zapro 4 xml instructions:

if you don't have xmlspy download it here http://www.xmlspy.com
Pm Me for a crack for this if you want



1. First you need to backup your current zone alarm settings, which will create a file in the xml format.
To do this, go to: Overview=> Preferences=> and click the backup button. Call the file backup.
the file will now be saved as ‘backup.xml’ in the location where you saved it, by default it saves in my documents.

2. Copy the zone alarm pro xml dump from this site.click on the ZAPro4 link under the heading "Where can I get lists when the database is closed?"
Here is the link: http://xs.tech.nu/pgi.htm
(it is up to date and includes the thumbs up ranges)


3. Then copy the list from the above link and then go to this site:
http://www.bluetack.co.uk and click on Security Blocklist Converter . select convert from: zone alarm to zone alarm.
It will organize the information in a such a way that its easier to see where to remove the unwanted stuff,
but that comes later on.

4. Then open your backup.xml in notepad. Browse the file and you should come to point where it looks like this:
CODE

<file extension="MHT" active="true" description="Web Archive File"/>
</quarantine>
</attachments>
<outboundMail ompEnabled="true" mailEnabled="true" maxMailSent="5" recipientEnabled="true" maxRecipients="50" interval="2" senderEnabled="false" authorizedSenders="******@***.com"/>
</email>
<firewall>
<expert>
<groups> </groups> <rules>
<execute action="drop"/>
<source>

</source>
</rule>

</rules>
</expert>
</firewall>
<zones>
<trusted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
</trusted>
<restricted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;PASTE THE FILE FROM BLUETACK HERE&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
(please note you may already have ips listed here so just paste the data after the last ip entry

5. Then paste the zone alarm pro dump from the bluetack.co.uk site after its been converted
(important note- only copy and paste the ip data and NOT the following:
before: <zones><restricted clearOldEntries="false" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
and after: </restricted></zones>
and paste it under the highlighted area.

6. Now save it and close it. And open it in XMLSPY. (there&#39;s no need to grant internet access to this program for this)

7. Xmlspy may now tell you that the file is not well formed. the cursor will be in front of the first character that needs to be deleted, simply erase the > and then click recheck- you&#39;ll have to remove several > characters, then you come to C&D and you just delete the & and click recheck...move on to more > and the you come to Audifon Chat & Play- here you need to hit backspace twice- erasing the & and one space...now it says ok you you need to save- pick a name that you&#39;ll know it&#39;s for the final restore- like finalxmlready

8. Everything should be good now. (To be on the safe side turn off your modem when you&#39;re changing your firewall settings) just save it and go to: overview=>preferences=>and click the restore button in the zone alarm firewall. Load the file finalxmlready.xml and it should open a box saying loading, once its complete It should say that there were no problems. Now you need to check if that’s true, by going to the firewall=>zone section where all the rules should appear.

Oops..my mistake..it was REALITY, thanks for pointing that out mate...
I knew it was one of those two clever bastards...lol
post edited now anyways

try this it does it for you

http://home.comcast.net/~zaupdate/

I always have and always will prefer to update it may self manually, but this program is quite good for people who can not master how to do it manually


Hey cpumaster...does this autoupdater still take an eternity to do its thing?i might try it to see if it beat the 2 hours it took to update itself when i first tried it out...
last time i tried it I gave up after 2 hours of updating 600 or so ranges.. :angry:
I could of updated 600 machines manually by the time that thing finished... :D

Hi guys,

Sorry guys, been out for the whole day but thanks for your help. I am using norten firewall and norton anti virus 2003.

pr7 is an earlier version than pr8. they&#39;re both for 1.99. so it&#39;s 1.99pr7 or 1.99pr8. the pr8 is a resource hogger. get pr7

PR10 is the latest, try that guys B)
