Why be 'easy meat'. I am seeing about 400% increase in blocking and intities trying to get in, over the last 6 months. If they want in, I want them out! I am figuring anyone that builds a thing powerful enough to ping me 10 times in a second (that happened once, M$) didn't spend that much money for grins. Unless they are only interested in me. Pirate Bay torrents seem to attract the most flys. I have limited what I do with them and my blocking is back down to what it was this summer.
I am sure someone is 'getting through' but I have nothing better to do then fight back as I can.

Heres a picture!
I've been following this useful thread, as I'm trying to get to grips with PG2 as well. That screenshot above, is different from what I see in my PG2 ? ? I don't know what version of PG2 it is, but it definitely looks different to that one ? So, could that possibly be Peerguardian 1 ?
Ask yourself why would you want any of them snooping around your computer? Do you really think any of them have even one good intention towards you? Do you think they spent money and effort to get into your computer to help you???? Maybe they want to give do lots of money?
I have all checked I might leave the add where unchecked. They are less dangerous and blocking them is a pain in the ass since most sites have these pests so it interferes with surfing. The rest are probably quite malicious or at least gathering data against you. Why do you think a university wants to check out what you are doing, or do you think they want to see what educational sites you have been to recently? They get grants from a company like M$ to gather data of the habits of the P2P community.
Most are creating naughty lists to be used against you if 'they' get an opening to 'reign death' on the P2P community. I believe they want to discover what sites you frequent so they can guess if you are using P2P legally.
