Hey guys, this is my first post. I joined afterdawn because they seem to have awesome forums for this sort of thing...so here's my issue. I've been wanting to do some downloading on bittorent but because someone on my college campus was recently caught violating P2P laws, I figured I should install an IP blocker. Peerguardian was highly recommended and I installed it and it worked great for a few days and then one day it just stopped working. The program will no longer launch into the systray at all, however it does appear in the task manager processes list. I tried reinstalling the program several times without avail. Something else that seems odd is that although it does appear in the processes list, the task manager fails at killing the process when I try. I'm out of ideas on how to fix it. I'm running BitDefender anti-virus and a Zone Alarm firewall (set to allow peerguardian to run.) Could either of those be affecting peerguardian? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Oh, something else I forgot to mention. When I opened the control panel to remove peerguardian to perform a fresh install, the control panel reads the program as taking up over 1GB of harddrive space which is of course a gross miscalculation.

Try in Safe Mode: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm Forget any tips you see in the instructions. It isn't BD and years ago ZA worked fine here with PG. I am kinda surprised that p2p works at all on a College Network.
