Download Emsisoft Online Armor 5.0

Emsisoft has released version 5.0 of Online Armor. This firewall program is available in Free and Premium flavors. The Premium version has extras such as file and registry monitoring, protection against DNS spoofing, automatic updates and a special mode for online banking. A license for Premium costs thirty euros per year. The most important improvements in version 5.0 are listed below.

New User Interface
Version 5.0 has received a new user interface based on the design of the other Emsisoft products. At the same time, we have also further improved the ease of use and have adjusted the popups so that they show the correct information even more clearly.

New Feature: File and Registry Protection
With this new feature, files, folders, and registry keys can be protected from changes. Program trust level rules allow you to precisely control which programs have full access, partial access, or no access at all to the protected areas. Among other things, this offers special protection against ransomware where important documents are encrypted and a ransom is demanded for the key.

Enhanced self-protection
Online Armor now protects itself even better against hacker manipulation or malware on both x86 and x64 systems.

Automatically block files with suspicious file names
A new feature in program monitoring is the automatic blocking of files with suspicious file names. For example, files with names of known Windows processes but in the wrong location, files with double extensions (eg .jpg.exe, .pdf.exe, .doc.exe) and files with unicode characters in the file name.

Over 400 minor and major improvements
Emsisoft listens to what users have to say about the software. This resulted in over 400 improvements over Online Armor version 4.5.
