USER REVIEWS AND COMMENTS

Software provides solutions against viruses that change data by freezing the hard drive. After restarting the computer, the hard drive zone will be restored to its original form before it freezes. Very useful feature to help you avoid virus infection, advertising when installing or using strange software of unknown origin.

PeerGuarding..

Where to start....

As a local business owner, it is important to keep my internet network safe. Without PeerGuardian, I never truly knew who was connecting to my internet connections as my shop. With PeerGuardian, I know exactly who is connecting and who I can accept and reject from connecting.

Peerguardian is a must for all homes, businesses, and massive corporations alike!

PeerGuardian is a tool that I use in order to protect and increase my privacy. It's a firewall application that cuts off any connectivity to any set of IP addresses, no matter how massive that set might be. I've been able to block millions of addresses that I want to blacklist for good, which makes this my go-to privacy application.
