  I have been using peerblock for a while. It seems pretty stable too.

  I hope people know that programs like PeerBlock and PeerGuardian are pretty much a placebo.

  Pulling out isn't very effective either but some say it's better than nothing, no?

  Pulling out means you were there in the first place, and that's always good.
  
  I'm not sure your analogy is holding up at this point though....

  If you really want to stop stuff block it at the dns level with OpenDNS. The free version will give you lots of control and paranoia levels. If you want even more control then that the paid version will do that nicely.
