Anybody use Peer Guardian on your PC to block malicious spyware or hacking?

Question

I've heard a free application called Peer Guardian can help keep my computer from hackers and malicious viruses when surfing the web. Anybody have experience with using this application?

Answer 1

Their purpose is to help protect the user's privacy from organizations such as the RIAA and MPAA while using filesharing networks such as FastTrack and protocols such as BitTorrent[citation needed]. The system is also capable of blocking advertising, spyware, government and educational ranges, depending upon user preferences.



I have been using it. But I doubt it is effective for stopping spyware. Apart from PeerGuardian I have Norton Internet Security and Spyware Doctor. Only peer guardian doesnot help in my opinion

Two anti-virus programs might cause problems with your computer. Most anti-virus programs have a firewall installed. If your anti-virus doesn't have a firewall, then try getting a firewall installed on your computer. Check my website out I have so many recommended programs.
