Hi Eveyone,
Does anyone here use Peer Guardian? and can they give me some advice on how they rate this product and where I can get the latest release of it please

Thanks

Yep i use it. Its a brilliant piece of software. It blocks loads of incoming ip's at first it amazed me how much it does block. You need to make sure you keep it updated. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/PeerGuardian.html

Thanks people for this info.
I haven't used this before, so is there a ''how to use'' for this that I can read upon anywhere?

[munkyboy04]

its really easy just install it and switch it on should up date itsel. there is an faq on their website

[kaz46]

I can't get their website it says that it's DNS Expired.

I have installed it now and it looks good, but there is one problem I have, I have Allowed some sites that I know are ok ie my Antivirus and my home page, but it still is in the Blocked section and my home page wont come on unless I allow HTTP I have right clicked the blocked item to allow it permanently and it is still blocked how do I unblock it am I not doing something right here?

[munkyboy04]

some sites will be blocked if you block HTTP. theres not alot you can do about it. So if you come to a site that you want to look at either enable http while you look at the site or enable it permenantley. Just right click on the icon in the tool bar

It's useless. Most of the IP's it blocks are harmless.

no its very useful but it block some site u want to visit so if if you are downloading some thing from bt network don't use www

just unblock http, you shouldnt have a prob. but if a organization was trying to take you down they normally would go through proxies.. agree???
