Online Armor 1.1 User Reviews

"Excellent Internet protection."
Version: Online Armor 1.1.0.552
Pros
Online Armor is a very easy program to use with a lot of hidden strength.
They seem to have designed the program from the ground up with the average PC user in mind, making it very suitable to run on a shared family PC.
Online Armor warns about every unrecognised file that tries to run on your PC. (It comes with a white list of programs so only unrecognised programs will cause a warning to appear). It also recognises programs that have changed.
It has the ability to track new files and registry entries during a program installation so if a younger family member still somehow manages to install something they shouldn't, you can safely remove it in your own time.
OA will also warn you if fake emails are received proposing to be from your bank or other protected site (and actually mark the email as dangerous).
It will also keep an eye on internet content to prevent unwanted actions taking effect on your computer.
The support is excellent from the TallEmu staff, with replies in Forums or emails arriving extremely quickly.
All sorts of advances for 'OA' are in the pipeline (such as a built in firewall) and TallEmu listen to all user comments for possible future developments within 'OA'.

"Innovative and easy to use"
Version: Online Armor 1.1
Pros
The more I use this product, the more I like it. Very innovative and easy to use, this will definitely be going on my mom's machine. The web filter alone is almost worth it in itself, but the generic keylogger protection (detects keyloggers by how they work rather than by signature, good accuracy with few false positives), phishing protection, whitelist/blacklist (doesn't ask you about things already known to be good/bad), and program start control with roll-back (lets you delete changes the program has made, so if it turns out to be malware you can disinfect with one click) all make this program outstanding. This is the first program of it's kind that I would be comfortable giving to a less experienced user. Definitely worth downloading.

"Excellent protection against online threats"
Version: Online Armor 1.1
Pros
As an attorney and educator, I have reviewed and tested many different programs to combat growing online threats such as worms, viruses, and trojan horses.
In my work, I have found that Online Armor, from Tall Emu, is the only comprehensive tool that does not depend on "vaccine-based" technology to protect against such threats.
Instead, Online Armor has the capacity to counter malware, worms, viruses, and other invasive threats before they are even reported to the public, and before retrofit "fixes" are distributed.
I am very pleased to see that through download.com this important tool in the battle against online threats is now being made available to all.

"Powerful protection far better than its competitors!"
Version: Online Armor 1.1
Pros
Very easy to use, yet incredibly powerful! Finds and stops threats all of my other "popular" anti-spyware programs have been missing all this time, and it protects against a lot more dangers. I don't need four different mediocre programs anymore and no longer have to worry about constantly updating their signature files to get any protection.
