It's great tool that allows you to load lists of IP addresses to be blocked. The newest version barely uses any CPU power, I don't even notice that the program is installed. It's perfect if your using p2p or torrents, because it will automatically block most .gov or p2p sharers who have been deemed as harmful/shady by other people. It's easy to manage and a simple program I suggest everyone download it and use it. For anyone interested, the only official site is: Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

Does anyone else use this program or know of any others similar to it?

I use my windows firewall, that seems to do the job pretty well

Peer Guardian isn't really anything like windows firewall, one of the beauties of PG is that all sorts of harmful IP's are already blocked.

I've heard of it but never really cared or took much notice of the program.

Peer Guardian is awesome.

But, I just use the Peer Guardian plugin, in KTorrent.
