Ced's Files: PeerBlock 1.0+ r187 – Protect Your Computer from Online Trolls

PeerBlock 1.0+ r187 (Windows, Open Source, 1.86MB) lets you control who your computer "talks to" on the Internet. By selecting appropriate lists of "known bad" computers, you can block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked", even entire countries! They can't get in to your computer, and your computer won't try to send them anything either.

Changes:

Redirectable URLs - From here on in, all Interim Releases will bring you directly to the page for the latest Interim Release when a new version is detected. Previously, we'd just take you to the Dev Blog and leave you on your own.
List Manager UI Tweak - Changed the "Open List" button and the "Open..." right-click menu entry to be "View" instead, to match what we've got up in the top section.
No Duplicate Lists - We now should be correctly handling list entries, so that you don't end up with duplicate lists. This was mostly a problem if you added a list via checkbox and also via the dropdown list.
Sorted Lists - Dynamic lists should now be sorted (by description) whenever opening/closing the List Manager.
New Tray-menu Items - Added "Help" and "Support" entries to the right-click menu for the system-tray icon, taking you to our online User Manual and Forums sites, respectively.
Updated Credits - Updated the credits to make sure everyone who's contributed to PeerBlock 1.0 received the credit they're due.
Don't Install Manual - On new installations, the User Manual will no longer be installed locally to your machine. If you're upgrading from a previous version, the manual files will be deleted.
About Window Tweak - The "Launch Homepage" button on the "About" window now takes you to www.peerblock.com, instead of our old sites.google.com hosted page.
Installer Tweaks - The installer now has a PeerBlock icon! Also, removed the "License" shortcut from the Start Menu.
