Online Armor protects your computer's internet connection (inbound connections and outbound connections), stops unknown programs from running and detects keyloggers - plus lots more!. Online Armor is a full security system for your computer, but has been designed to be very easy to use. You can check out its features in detail by looking at the menu on the left.

There are two different versions of Online Armor available.

Online Armor Free

Online Armor FREE is our powerful windows firewall - the only FREE firewall to offer 100% leak protection out of the box! It's easy to use, powerful - and completely free. Online Armor is straightforward, and simple to use.

Online Armor includes powerful "HIPS" functions, which give you the ability to stop all unrecognised programs from running on your computer unless you say so, making it possible to protect yourself against these new attacks. Of course, programs Online Armor knows are safe will be allowed to run, no problem.

This is different to a pure Antivirus program - these let any program run, unless they know it is a virus. This means that it must have that that exact threat in its database before it can do anything about it. Your antivirus will completely ignore programs it does not recognise - which unfortunately includes new viruses.

Online Armor

Like Online Armor FREE, Online Armor is also a powerful windows firewall - and also offers 100% leak protection right out of the box. It is easy to use, and powerful just like it's free cousin.

Online Armor combines all of the features you'd expect from a personal firewall, plus adds several useful enhancements. Online Armor's advanced mode lets you adjust the firewall settings precisely to your liking, import blacklists. If you perform transations online, Online Armor's banking mode protects you by only allowing you to go to legitimate bank websites.

Online Armor also provides powerful protection against keystroke records and even filters your email messages to weed out banking scams. While you're surfing the web, Online Armor filters web pages that you visit to remove potentially dangerous content. If you choose to purchase Online Armor, you'll receive a lot of extra benefits over the already powerful free version.
