Reviewing the copy of the p2p list finds many examples of major software companies being blocked. It would be possible as just an example to load no lists of blocking sites from BlueTack via PG 2 and build our own lists over time one range at a time. It is the lists you and other users choose to load from their menu of lists. We have to be clear here PG 2 blocks nothing by itself without the lists the USER chooses to exploit. Even if i like that eset doesn't try to include everything that might be releated to illegal filesharing as a threat i couldn't care less if PG2 is detected as a threat. This is not the first time i heard about PG2 causing problems like this and unless you got something to hide i cannot see how using PG2 is a benefit considering these kind of issues where it cause problem for other security applications. For filesharing like Bit Torrent those might not be suitable because you have to communicate with a lot of unknown IP addresses, but still you want to block communication with sites that you don't want to find out about your activites. There are other software available for that purpose that is much better and less hassle. Some people might say they use it for privacy, but i find that hard to believe. Based on their reply when they say "We block all commercial software companies and all companies that produce copyrighted material" they do not deny the purpose of this application either. It's an application to keep the person using the computer protected when using software illegally or sharing/downloading copyrighted software. PG2 is not an application to keep your computer protected.
