well...actually I was referring to my real firewall, not PG2...and said IP addy is already in there (for what reason, I surely don't remember, but its there)...so, I for one assume I manually put it there for some good reason at some point in time...

as far as PG2, well it seems to do some good for me, at least as far as connections go..sure, if I'm sharing the bad guys get results with my IP addy, but I'm more concerned with blocking them from getting connected to my box in any way, at the very least as a download source for their version of the file (which I'm sure is corrupted)...

and yes, the internal ability to create your own blocklist would be grand...though I'm not sure that would stop search results from being seen by the bad guys..
