If you p2p like I do, you cannot have enough security against prying eyes that have invaded the community.

Introducing their worst nightmare. "ProtoWall + The Bluetack Blocklist manager".
QUOTE
ProtoWall completely BLOCKS all inbound and outbound connections [packets] from Internet addresses that are on the Bluetack Blocklist, covering a comprehensive range of protocols including TCP/IP/UDP/ICMP/IGMP and RAW IP. The Blocklist is supported Globally and then is sorted (Overlapping Resolved) and then converted to various formats (ProtoWall, PeerGuardian, Emule, ect.).
Protowall is a driver based firewall ,so it will Block the packets that are sent Before most firewall's will ever see it. ProtoWall is only available for windows XP, 2000 and 2003 server, the driver that needs to be installed is "not compatible" with any other windows sytems.
A detailed log file recording of all blocked Internet connections is just a mouse click away, and you can personally control the amount of logged allowed IP connections to manage the size of your log output file.
Best of all Protowall enables you to update your.p2p blocking file quite easily , which means you will always have access to the most up to date IP blocking lists provided by Bluetack ISS team.
Intergration with the Blocklist Manager extends Protowalls IP blocking function even further allowing you to combine many other sources of hostile IP addresses and blacklists , which you can also import into a wide range of other supported programs.

Why does ProtoWall Standout above the rest?
QUOTE
External Firewall blockers are complete resource hogs and have a tendecy to crash your system,but with Protowall it is Xp Driver Based, which means it blocks packets at system level which is extremely fast. Protowall uses less than 1% cpu usage, even under heavy upload/downloading and much more accurate in packet blocking.
Does ProtoWall contain Spyware?
QUOTE
Absolutely Not! There are no hidden programs in ProtoWall and the code has not been released to the general public, to avoid cloning.
The Bluetackteam is committed to provide a p2p Security system free of any devious malware/spyware. [you got that right

]How much does ProtoWall and the Blocklist Manager cost?
ProtoWall and The Blocklist Manager and support are free of charge!
Is ProtoWall a complete Firewall?
No, it is not yet!
ProtoWall only blocks Ip's (internet addresses) that are recieved from The Blocklist manager or manually installed by you.
Protowall runs alongside many personal firewalls with no problems:

## please note## there is no way you will have the same ip count as displayed below when you first load your .p2p file , the result below is from merged lists created by the Bluetack Blocklist Manager: http://www.bluetack.co.uk/blmhelp/
