Control Panel

The Control Panel is the main interface to view information about Online Armor, check for updates, and make configuration changes.

You can access the Control Panel simply by double-clicking the yellow and blue shield icon in your system tray, the area next to the system clock in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.

The Control Panel has two sections on the left: System Status and the Main Menu.

The System Status shows you the following:

• Whether you have the latest version installed or not. This item will show “Latest Version Installed” when you have the latest version of Online Armor until there is a software update available.
• What mode Online Armor is currently using. The mode shown here is the mode Online Armor is currently using. You can click this item to toggle between Standard, Advanced, and Banking modes.
• A link to run the Safety Check Wizard again.
• If you have the free trial of Online Armor installed then you can click “Register” to enter a license key you have purchased, or click “Buy now” to purchase a license key.

The Main Menu allows you to view and change Online Armor’s settings, discussed in detail in the Using Online Armor help pages. Generally, however, the main menu is organized as follows:

• General – Allows you to enable and disable major protection features.
• Programs through Firewall – Allows you to fine tune control of these protection features.
• History – Allows you to review events handled by Online Armor.
• Options – Allows you to configure how Online Armor works in a more general way that is not specific to individual programs or protection settings.
• About – Shows you information about the version of Online Armor you have installed, updates, your license information (including how many days until expiration), and allows you to activate a new license key.

At the bottom of the Control Panel you can click Help to be taken to this online help documentation, or Close to exit the Control Panel.
