    It's supposed to stop the above snooping on what you're sharing out via torrent downloading - whether it really works & does indeed protect u I've no idea, hence why I steer well clear of torrents.

    I tried and tested this - the software is ok i suppose but my PC kept crashing and depending what you have blocked it stops you getting access to your favourite sites - like this one for example and it makes loading pages on websites very slow also.

    I got rid of it in the end
