For those on my f-list who enjoy file sharing, might I suggest PeerGuardian 2. In addition to your firewall, it helps to keep unwanteds (like anti-piracy groups) from accessing your computer. Not 100% foolproof, but definitely better than downloading those torrents naked. While I use it soley while BitComet is running, it can also block web sites and spyware (though the company, themselves, insist there are better programs for the latter). Occasionally I’ve had to tweak the settings; allowing a site that has been blocked when I know it shouldn’t be. Other than that it seems to be a wonderful program.

Now if only I can figure out why Time Warner wanted access to my computer….
