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?
