Online Armor Free 5.5.0.1543

Online Armor Firewall 5.5 is verschenen. Deze uitgave van de geavanceerde firewall brengt twee grote vernieuwingen die beide met de cloud te maken hebben.

Ten eerste is het anti-malware netwerk van producent Emsisoft nu geïntegreerd met Online Armor. Onbekende programma's worden gecontroleerd met behulp van de cloud (een online database met legitieme software en malware), waarna betrouwbare applicaties automatisch, zonder tussenkomst van de gebruiker, goedgekeurd worden. Dit scheelt veel onnodige popups en voorkomt dat gebruikers vaak zelf programma's moeten beoordelen.

Ten tweede maakt Online Armor nu gebruik van een cloud scan waardoor malware meteen gedetecteerd wordt. Hierdoor kan je pc beter beveiligd worden. Lees de verdere wijzigingen hieronder in de release notes na.

Bij de installatie van Online Armor moet je kiezen welke versie je wilt. Wij kiezen voor de bovenste optie: de gratis Online Armor Free. Voor de andere versies (die meer bescherming bieden), moet je betalen.

Online Armor Free is verkrijgbaar in het Nederlands voor Windows XP, Vista en 7. Online Armor is nu ook beschikbaar voor 64-bits Windows 7.

Release notes:

• Integration of Anti-Malware Network:
  Unknown programs are immediately cross-checked against the cloud. The Online Database contains around 4 million entries and relies on the intelligence of the cloud. Programs considered harmless are automatically permitted, while annoying pop-up windows and alerts are omitted. So you can totally focus on your work!
• New cloud-based scan:
  Our cloud scan, already used in Emsisoft MalAware, has been included in Online Armor. Even if there is no record of a file in the Anti-Malware Network, more than 7 million signatures mean that malware can be recognized reliably to keep your PC safe.
• Improved license and update system:
  Software updates are downloaded and installed way quicker. Moreover, Online Armor relies on the license system used for other Emsisoft products. Access our Customer Center to find and manage the licenses for all your Emsisoft products in one place. Your Online Armor license key will be automatically transferred to the new system as soon as you use version 5.5 for the first time. Unnecessary key resets when reinstalling your OS are a thing of the past.
• New pricing system rewards your loyalty:
  The 1-year license is 25 % cheaper if renewed once the initial 1-year period has expired and will be a further 5 % cheaper for every additional year you renew it. Long-term customers can thus benefit from discounts of up to 50 %.
• Fine tuning:
  We have added news popups that keep you up to date with the latest Emsisoft news and fixed several potential incompatibilites, e.g. in combination with Ad Muncher or WinCrypt. As well as countless minor changes for improved user experience and best protection.
