Is this PeerGuardian on the level or what?

On the plus side, it is brilliant at blocking outgoing IP calls, from whatever apps you have on your system. It has already blocked outgoing IP calls from two trojans that I had no idea were 'contacting home' from my computer. One is actually a pirated screen capture tool (HyperSxxp). Yeah, some applications downloads on P2P are high-class trojans that are very difficult to spot.
hmmmmmm....just where exactly did you get your copy of PG2?
