$$ WRQ's AtGuard is software that runs on your PC and monitors network      $$
$$ traffic going in and out of your computer. Depending on how you have     $$
$$   AtGuard configured, it can also step in and intervene in network       $$
$$   connections and block data on your behalf. Specifically, it can:       $$

$$ ╖ Block images (usually advertisements) that you don't want to see       $$
$$ ╖ Speed up web page loading                                              $$
$$ ╖ Block refer field and cookies to reduce the amount of targeted         $$
$$   advertising you receive                                                $$
$$ ╖ Enhance your browsing privacy by blocking the User-agent and From      $$
$$   fields sent to the server by your browser                              $$
$$ ╖ Allow you to customize what is shown on web pages that you visit       $$
$$   often                                                                  $$
$$ ╖ Prevent web pages from running Java applets, JavaScript, and           $$
$$   ActiveX controls to reduce the number of advertising scripts that      $$
$$   run and to increase your protection from potentially invasive          $$
$$   programs                                                               $$
$$ ╖ Stop animated GIFs from cycling endlessly, reducing cache disk         $$
$$   thrashing                                                              $$
$$ ╖ Keep track of various statistics as you surf the web, like how         $$
$$   much data you've downloaded and how many cookies you would have        $$
$$   sent back to web sites                                                 $$
$$ ╖ Prevent software from communicating with your computer or with         $$
$$   remote computers without your knowledge or permission                  $$

$$  What's New in Version 3.22                                              $$

$$  Version 3.22 provides preliminary support for Windows 2000              $$
$$  release candidate 1 and 2 (build 2072 and build 2128). This             $$
$$  release resolves several problems introduced in release 3.21.           $$

$$  Fixes -                                                                 $$
$$  * Fix for crashes occurring within the NDISFILT module on               $$
$$    Windows 95/98.                                                        $$

$$  * Blocked and permitted ICMP communications are now counted             $$
$$    on the Dashboard.                                                     $$

$$  * Fix for the Firewall Test utility pertaining to inbound TCP           $$
$$    connections.                                                          $$

$$  * If you have a listening TCP port and you set up a firewall rule       $$
$$    to block access to this port, AtGuard now blocks this communication   $$
$$    sooner than in previous versions. In some instances, this may help    $$
$$    with DSLReport scores.                                                $$

$$  * Fix for compatibility issues with some Norton SystemWorks 2000        $$
$$    configurations                                                        $$

$$  * Fix for compatibility issues with PGPnet from PGP Freeware            $$

$$  * Fix for users using some multiple interface configurations where      $$
$$    packets were improperly sent out a particular interface               $$
