PeerBlock 1.1 Date added: November, 23rd 2010 - (Open Source)

PeerBlock is excellent free security program that scans the connection you make with various websites while browsing online, and determines which one of them contains malicious software or aggressive advertisements. With very simple user interface, novice users can control the connections of their computer, effectively severing connection with the servers that send him unwanted content, advertisement, p2p connections, hacker connections and more. By shutting connection to those servers, your computer remains safe, and by using predefined lists you can deny access to wide variety of domains, governments, corporations or even domains from entire countries.

Whether you want to protect yourself from outside threats or you want to hide your activities from other, PeerBlock is a perfect solution for you.

Note: PeerBlock is a continuation of PeerGuardian. PeerBlock is much more stable, doesn't require nearly so many hacks/workarounds to get working on Vista/Windows 7.
