LOGAN SAXER I am new to PeerGuardian and am having some issues, as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to work at all for me. I have opened the Application and all it does is make the sound effect for a mac like you hit a button you shouldn't have. There is nothing listed in my Log, nor in my PeerGuardian List, and I am unable to Update or Add anything because of the same problem, every time I hit the Update or Add button, the same error sound effect occurs and nothing happens This is the same with P2P (VUZE) opened or not opened... Please help, im dumfounded

LOGAN SAXER Is there anyway to Toggle Peer Guardian on and Off? and what is the most effective way to have an updated list of protection? Peer Guardian doesn't seem to do so well on it's own with that..

G. CARDOSO You can disable and enable lists with the menubar icon.

BILLONCHO Peerguardian gave me a corrupt file message and it had no lists. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but it won't let me add a list. I want to put the P2P list back in. The corrupt file message has gone away since I reinstalled it. Thanks.

SPRINGHEELMAC Ok, I've added several lists from 'iblocklist.com' and they all update fine. For some reason just the lists that PeerGuardian comes pre-installed with are not updating.

SPRINGHEELMAC The blocklists all have been updating fine since about a week or two after the above comment with no problems whatsoever. Sorry for the late update. PeerGuardian works great at keeping known jerks off my system and out of my business. I highly recommend it.

SPRINGHEELMAC On or about 30 Dec 2008, Peer Guardian stopped updating its block lists. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and now my block lists are even more out of date. Could all the different block list sites be down at the same time? That doesn't seem probable, but I've never had this problem before.

SHAYMORGAN well, I downloaded peep guardian today, it seems to be workings..i suppose, but i am wondering, do i have to add my p2p url to it somehow? i really don't know what i am doing. Example if i used limewire or azureus or something, do i have to manually go in and add that to peer guardian, or does it automatically block them?

BDOBBS This program does exactly what it purports to, and how. It rocks, I've never had problems with stability or anything else, but I've never delved into its depths. All that being said, it's ugly as sin. Really heinously, awfully ugly. I'm not a developer, so I don't know how hard it is to make an app with a UI (or at least a good menu-bar icon), but I hope that they release an update soon. Looks don't really matter that much to me, as long as it's functional, and this is entirely. If it gets a UI facelift, it'll get five stars from me.

KBOT Installed okay here but I'm wondering if it's doing anything. Nothing seems to be getting blocked--i even activated all the filters and unchecked some boxes so it would disallow "std" (standard ports right?). How can i confirm PG is working?

OSCAR74 Installs fine, but cannot open Preferences or check the Lists at all. Had to uninstall. Using 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac.

RATTUS I had the previous version (1.4.2) working without problems, but this version (1.5b1) cannot install properly. The installer stalls with a message to "please try installing again". I have tried running the included uninstall script but it did not help.
