While PeerGuardian 2 adequately protects peer-2-peer users from connecting to unwanted hosts, it does have one issue. PG2 keeps a history file which over time accumulates and becomes larger and larger. This can take of significant space if it has been laying around for a year. Another problem is that this file can become excessively fragmented causing a degradation in system performance. Here are the instructions to delete the PeerGuardian 2 history file which will cause a new one to be generated automatically next time the program is started:
- Shut Down PeerGuardian
- Click Start
- Double click My Computer
- Double click Program Files
- Double click PeerGuardian2
- Delete the file history.db (may show up as history without the .db at the end)
- Close the Window
