Emsisoft Online Armor 7.0.0.1866
Online Armor is a powerful security software that protects your computer from unwanted external access. It prevents hackers from accessing your computer, stops malicious programs invading into your computer and sending your data over the internet, protects you during your online banking and transactions, and safeguards your identity. The software is easy to install and manage, and does not slow down your computer performance. The freeware version has slightly limited functionality and no automatic updates.
Firewall with choice of 3 modes
Online Armor initially starts in standard mode, which is easy for anyone to manage. Standard mode doesn't focus on technical details, but rather on the simple question: Is a certain program allowed to access the Internet or not? Safe programs on centrally maintained whitelist are automatically allowed access by the firewall. In advanced modethere are numerous options for experienced users. For example, it is possible to restrict access to only selected networks or to prevent access to websites from specific countries which are known for spreading malicious software. Online Armor's third mode is banking mode which stands for secure online banking.
Keylogger protection
Keyloggers are a type of malware that lurk invisibly in the background, waiting to capture keystrokes. Usually these keystrokes are then sent to a hacker - for example when entering a Paypal login, or the PIN of an online banking website. Online Armor protects the user by reporting any suspicious programs that try to record keyboard sequences. Centrally maintained whitelist also includes programs that are known to be safe despite displaying keylogger-like behaviour and Online Armor will not bother the user with alerts for such programs.
Autoruns management
Many programs start automatically together with Windows - whether this is desirable or not. Online Armor lists all autoruns and classifies them by their security status (trusted, not trusted, unknown). Users may then decide themselves whether these programs are allowed to start in the future or not. Once again, Online Armor utilizes centrally maintained whitelist to automatically allow known safe autoruns.
Note: As of March 2015, Emsisoft Online Armor is no longer developed. Emsisoft Anti-Malware and Online Armor have been combined in Emsisoft Internet Security.
