PeerGuardian trouble

The number of lists has mysteriously dropped to 0, and the taskbar icon is flashing! :confused:

What gives?

PS. Also, for some amusing reason, I'm occasionally being port-scanned by Bioware! :confused:

Cover your nose Boo! We will leave no crevisse untouched!

mines fine!

edit - even the port test in utorrent get blocked.

Have you tried turning it off and on yet?

manveruppd · 5 Dec 2007 at 03:06

I've even uninstalled and reinstalled it - no dice!

fini · 5 Dec 2007 at 03:09

Are you sure its switched on? Have you checked the plug switch? </IT Crowd>

Do you have two computers? If so could you install it on the other one and then copy the working files over the non-working files.

Have you run a virus check, spyware check, hijackthis log?

That should take a while, I'll give it a go though I've never heard of any viruses or malware that attacks PG2 specifically! :confused:

MikeHunt79 · 5 Dec 2007 at 03:26

try the port checker in utorrent

PG2 should block it

Not only is it blocking it, it's even blocking the results page from displaying. Check my screenie, it shows several hundreds of million IPs being blocked, but no lists! Which means I can't update them! Or enable them selectively!

This happened to me a while ago. I think I found the addresses of the lists and manually added them again

Here is the url for the P2P list which I am using and the others you may use.

If still having problems, uninstall and re-install.
