Peer Guardian 2 on Windows Vista

Digg!
I hate using any sort of P2P program or torrents on the net without Peer Guardian 2. It stops more ip's than I can think of. The latest peer guardian 2 doesn't work with Vista but the old windows 98 version does. The great people at phoenixlabs haven't come up with a driver for vista so the newest versions won't work but, the windows 98 version looks identical and works great on vista. download it here

Update: Have a look at my latest post on Peer Guardian 2. Peer Guardian 2 now works with Windows Vista fully.

I've checked and it only blocks the TCP protocol so don't trust it too much.

You can use the new PG2 as long as you disable digital driver enforcement. I found this much easier to do using a program called "Ready Driver Plus". I tried using the "Disable integrity checks" command through command prompt but that doesn't work with Vista's Sp1 anymore. Although you can manually go to the advanced start up options when your computer starts and tell it to disable driver enforcement, I'm lazy and would rather let Ready Driver Plus do it for me.
