- It blocks file sharing programmes (like Kazaa and Limewire) from working on your computer
- P2P Barrier will improve the security of your computer and reduce risk of virus and spyware infection
- And increase the speed of your network traffic and Internet connection (massively in some cases)
- A tiny little software programme that uses virtually undetectable amounts of power
- Well, you don't really need it
- If someone using your computer has been downloading copyrighted material you could face a huge fine
- It provides some piece of mind to parents that their kids aren't downloading copyrighted material
File sharing is fantastic and by no means do we intend to dampen the various possible legal applications of peer to peer technology by creating our p2p blocking software.
However, using P2P applications can open up a computer and network to serious threats from virus's, worms, trojans and intrusion from unwanted guests. Just try googling for anything like 'p2p virus' or 'p2p security problem'.
Most p2p applications are used for sharing and obtaining access to copyright protected materials such as music, video and software. Allowing p2p applications to run on any home or office network can leave computer operators and administrators open and susceptible to copyright infringement prosecution.
Leaving a p2p application running in the background of your computer to enable it to download or share the latest album or movie drains massive resources from the potential of your Internet connection.

Found a P2P application that you think we should add to P2P barrier, drop us an email so we can add it to our next database update.
October 2006 - we are currently working on a new update and should have a release by the end of November.
January 2007 - Errr, another update, we still have not completed version2. No excuses we just haven't got around to it as we are working on a cool new project!
However, this version is still pretty much up to date and and there are only 3 new applications we are aware of that p2p barrier does not block. These are utorrent, MIRC and manolito.
A massive thanks to everyone that has made product suggestions - they are all great ideas and we will implement them when we can.
January 2008 - its here at last - an updated version. We've added another 14 p2p applications to our block list.
