New in Online Armor ++ [DISCONTINUED] 5.0.0.1097 (Apr 9, 2011)
- New user interface:
- Version 5.0 of the Firewall has a completely reworked user interface. This is based on the design of the other Emsisoft products. In addition to creating a unified product appearance for Emsisoft programs, the aim was also to greatly simplify the operating concept. The opportunity was also taken to improve the readability of the alert window messages displayed directly above the Taskbar System Tray when an alert is generated.
- New feature: File & Registry Shield:
- Online Armor 5.0 now also protects selected files, folders and registry keys from being changed. A rule system based on trust-level settings exactly defines the programs that have full access, partial access or no access to the protected areas. This provides special protection to the user against ransomware attacks, where important documents are encrypted and ransom money is demanded for the encryption key.
- Improved self-protection:
- Online Armor itself now offers improved self-protection on both x86 and x64 systems, giving you that additional peace of mind that your system is protected all round against manipulation from malware and hackers.
- Alerts in the case of suspicious program paths:
- A new feature is the Guard module that checks and blocks suspicious file paths such as double file extensions, which are still very commonly used in e-mail attachments (e.g. *.pdf.exe or *.doc.exe), Unicode paths (characters that appear similar) and supposed system files that are actually in the wrong location.
- Over 400 improvements in various details:
- Emsisoft works very closely with the user community. As a result of direct customer feedback, over 400 improvements to various details have been made when compared to version 4.5.
