This is an application I found that apparently works something like a proxy.
It is called Peer guardian and blocks your IP from been shown on P2P software.
I download torrents for the likes of images and trailers etc.And don't want my IP shown to the world and wouldn't mind using an application like this.
So I thought I would ask the experts whether or not this is a clean application and whether or not I should bother installing it.

I don't use this program (I don't use any P2P programs) but perhaps others have some personal experience to post.

Meanwhile there is some useful information on Wikipedia with practical comment here ........

Already read all of that.Was mainly concerned about malware being a part of the program or coming later on.As I said above I only use torrents to download images and trailers so I probably don't even need this.
