Overview

Computer security has become a major issue for today’s computer user. Malware (malicious software, such as viruses, Trojans, spyware, and more) is spreading at ever increasing rates, and has created a “cat and mouse” game between criminals and security experts. Unfortunately the old ways of protecting your computer with little more than an antivirus scanner no longer offers adequate protection. Many new approaches have been developed to help increase computer security, but many computers are bogged down with bloated security software and still being infected. Online Armor was made to provide comprehensive protection that is not difficult to use and without slowing your system down.

Everyone has different circumstances and needs. To accommodate this, there are multiple versions of Online Armor to suit your individual needs. All versions include:

An innovative Firewall that is made to require an absolute minimum of user input, and will be automatically configured to allow normal internet traffic. The firewall has been extensively tested and proven to thwart all known methods of bypassing, to protect your private data. Spyware won’t be able to slip by unnoticed.

Program protection that allows you to control what programs may run or install on your computer and restrict potentially malicious behavior. Users will appreciate Online Armor’s ability to recognize and allow programs known to be safe, while advanced users will enjoy the additional control that Online Armor allows. This feature also combines with the firewall by default so you don’t have to authorize the same program twice.

Enhanced protection that helps to ensure that Online Armor continues to protect your computer and your privacy, even if something malicious is not caught in time and attempts to bypass your computer’s security.

Our Run Safer feature that utilizes additional security built in to Windows that is not normally used. This restricts programs from accessing sensitive areas of the operating system.

Online Armor Versions

Online Armor is available in three different versions to choose from. These versions include:

Online Armor Free includes basic firewall and program protection, with enhanced protection to thwart attempts to bypass this protection. This version is suited for anyone that just wants a free and basic firewall to supplement existing security software.

Online Armor Firewall includes the protection provided in the Free version, with the addition of protection against web threats, email threats, phishing scams, automatic program updates, greater keylogger protection, and more advanced controls. This version provides even greater protection against firewall bypassing tricks, and is suited for anyone that wants comprehensive supplemental security.

Online Armor AV+ includes the protection provided in Online Armor with the addition of antivirus protection provided by Kaspersky to stop known threats automatically. This version is suited for anyone that wants fully comprehensive security that can be used alone or with additional anti-malware products.
