Your options are to check for updates Every Day, Every other day, Every week or a specified amount of days. This would be a handy option for me as I often leave my computer switched on but idle for days unend.
Peerguardian for win7 update#
PG2 however, is made to use as little resources as possible so adding all the lists doesn't have a huge effect on system performance.Īutomatic Updates It is very easy to manually update PG2 but the option for Automatic Updates is available. With PeerGuardian, most users would stick only to P2P blocklists with the original PeerGuardian because of CPU and memory usage, especially when you are using a P2P network like eD2K which depends on many connections for best performance. You can also tick I have my own lists if you have personally created blocklists. The options available are P2P, Ads, Spyware and Government. Select Lists The first thing you are asked is what lists you wish to use with PG2. Sorry for the resizing of the images, it was necessary for the page layout. A nice setup wizard is the first thing I saw after extracting all files into a PG2 folder on my HDD.
Installation Installation couldn't have been easier. I am currently using the eDonkey2000 network with my eMule client with about 40 files currently downloading and a few hundred shared. The current Beta's don't support Win9x versions. FuRiOuS1 on the Methlabs IRC channel was kind enough to give me a copy of the latest beta, so here's what the PG2 project looks like so far.įirst things First I am testing PG2 on my machine here, which is running with 2.6Ghz, 1GB RAM and WinXP SP1. PG2 is not yet available to the general public, but some have been lucky enough to get a copy of the latest testing beta's of the software. Some users may not have the resources capable of handling so much work that needs to be done by PeerGuardian and so MethLabs new upcoming version, PeerGuardian 2.0 aims to tackle some of these problems. The PG blocklists are huge now and updated on a regular basis, but that brings us to another problem. PeerGuardian is an application currently being used by Internet users worldwide to block the IP addresses of undesirables such as Anti-P2P, Ad servers, Spyware servers, Government etc.
