I gotta interuptt you both here. I've been using the BlockLIst Manager from BlueTack for quite some time to update uT's Ipfilter list as well as PG2 P2Pfilter.dat file.
Well. I had a look at what else BlueTack has to offer. I saw that they have a HostsManager. 'Very Handy', I thought. Decided to give it a try.
I find that this HostsManager from BlueTack is quite an improvement over other seperate softwares that you can also find on the net.
What I found out about the HostsManager from BlueTack is that you can select from the GUI to have the Hosts File be 'read only', which is actually quite necessary for the file to remain intact and unaltered from outside sources...if you understand my meaning of that.
Well. That is what I like about that.
ONe thing that I do need to ask is the following:
Is it necessary to have PG2 when the IPFilter.dat file inside uT has updates coming to it from Block List Manager from BlueTack??
You see BlueTack also allows PG2's P2Pfilter.dat file to be updated as well, It sounds like unnecessary protection to have both PG2 and the IPfilter.dat file inside uT protecting me from undesirable IPs.
Do you understand the question??
In other words, is PG2 necessary when uT has updates to its ipfilter.dat file and has the same undesirable IPs loaded in to it??
I am thinking of uninstalling PG2 if one is doing the same job as the other is.
