Oh snap. Holy hell yes it works, and it works well! I use the crap out of it. The default lists block more than you'd think they do... if you watch the log while surfing the internet or using programs like Shareaza, you'll see what I mean. It's extremely useful in P2P, because it makes you somewhat invisible on P2P and it filters out a lot of junk results, too.

Looks like a good program and I'm planning on installing it.
Dj, would you suggest the "lite" version over the full one?

I don't have very much RAM on this computer, and I was wondering if the lite version does a decent job.

I guess I'll just try to find some info on them.

Is PeerGuardian 2 just the new version and if so is it the same one you guys have been talking about?
