Can PeerGuardian replace my firewall?

No! PeerGuardian has been heavily optimized for what it needs to do and is _not_ a replacement for your firewall.

My System

The programs you have should be enough. Peer Guardian is mainly used with P2P file-sharing programs (which we can't offer any advice on)

I think we'll close this, since as mentioned, P2P applications are off-topic here at TSF.
