CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 19, 2010

The Internet is rife with malicious people and software, and protecting yourself is no easy feat. Fortunately there's A-squared Free + Online Armor Personal Firewall Bundle, a comprehensive suite of utilities that goes a long way toward keeping your computer secure.

Upon installation, the program takes users through a Safety Check Wizard that scans the user's computer for any existing threats. The application's interface is sleek and intuitive, with a menu that gives users access to its major features. Users can view programs that are running, programs that run automatically on start-up, any installed keylogging programs, and more. This allows users to keep track of what's happening on their computer, and the firewall keeps malware from getting in. Combined, these features prevent programs from installing or running without user permission. The program is thorough; it alerted us even when a benign utility associated with our printer wanted to run. Fortunately, it's easy to allow desired programs and have the software remember your choices, ensuring that you're not constantly pestered to approve applications over and over. The program's online Help file is well-written and thorough, offering a good explanation of how firewalls work that's suitable for beginners. Overall, we found the program both powerful and easy to use; security newbies will be able to handle it, and more-advanced users will appreciate customization options.

A-squared Free + Online Armor Personal Firewall Bundle is free, but the free version does limit some features. The program installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

Publisher's description

This bundle includes the freeware a-squared Free, a non limited malware scanner that comes with two major scan engines against all types of viruses, trojans, bots, keyloggers, spyware and adware. But the scan duration is not double long as it would be with two standalone virus and spyware scanners. A free commandline scanner is bundled too. Additionally, the freeware desktop firewall Online Armor is included to protect your PC from unwanted guests. Online Armor is a powerful personal firewall, with HIPS and a host of other security features to keep your PC clear of infections and running smoothly.
