Exactly right rikytik, if you know the IP's or IP ranges of the spy or harvester bots, then by blocking these IP's they can't log onto your p2p client, so in affect you are invisible to them.
In fact, you could enter these IP's addresses into any software or hardware firewall, but because there are literally, hundreds of thousands of hostile IP's, it would take forever...that why these 'peer firewalls' are so good. The important thing though, is to keep the IP list or database up to date...
The peer firewalls, will do this automatic updating themselves.
The following addresses have constant updates of banned/hostile IP's :
h**p://koti.mbnet.fi/zerodata/index.php
or
h**p://www.simplyclick.org/uploadertest/pg2.asp
