How do I exit PeerBlock?
Even if you close the main PeerBlock window it will continue running in the background, like a firewall. To fully exit PeerBlock (for example to upgrade it to a new release, or to uninstall it) you will need to right-click on the “systray icon” and select “Exit” from the popup menu. This systray icon can be found in the lower-right corner of your screen, to the left of your clock, and should look like a small version of the regular program icon (a blue/yellow/red cube/”block”). Hovering over this icon should cause the text “PeerBlock” to appear. Note that this icon may be “hidden” by the OS, so that you may need to click a little arrow to the left of the systray to see the PeerBlock icon.
