PeerGuardian/Protowall alternative for Vista 64-bit

Most P2P clients have IP blacklisting built in these days.

Having seen the source code for one of the earlier versions of PeerGuardian I certainly wouldn't let that packet filtering driver anywhere near my system. At least back then they didn't have the first clue of how TCP works and it was badly affecting the performance of their driver.

Does uTorrent 1.6.1 Build 489 have that blacklisting built in?


Hmm, all seems a bit make-do to me which isn't really the way I like to do things :(

It's a shame Microsoft found another way to make money - $300-500 a year to get your drivers digitally signed.

Microsoft doesn't get the cash... VeriSign or one of the other certificate providers does :) Not that that reduces the problem for small shareware/freeware outlets.

Meh, still just another way for some company to get money - what I want to know is why the driver being signed is 100% have to with Vista 64-bit unless you dodgily disable it?
