Emsisoft Online Armor 5.5 firewall with double cloud support for even more security
Without a protection program, it is no longer possible, because the crime rate on the Internet is still increasing rapidly. Emsisoft Online Armor is a modern firewall for Windows and permanently monitors all network connections, which can specifically prevent hacker attacks. The new version 5.5 uses the advantages of the cloud twice. The firewall now uses the Emsisoft Anti-Malware Network, which already classifies over 4 million programs and thus reduces false alarms. And it uses its own cloud scanning to detect malicious files even faster.
Thalgau, 07. February 2012 – Emsisoft Online Armor is now available in version 5.5. Developer Emsisoft, familiar with the security program Emsisoft Anti-Malware, has come up with a lot to increase the comfort of the firewall. The aim is for the firewall to pursue its own protection task even more competently, but to prevent the user from working as rarely as possible. This now works even better thanks to two cloud services.
So Emsisoft Online Armor now accesses the Anti-Malware Networkto classify unknown programs particularly quickly as benign or harmful with the support of the cloud. The network uses the intelligence of the masses and already evaluates Four million programs – Contributed by countless users. If a program not previously known for Online Armor is classified as benign, the firewall allows it to happen automatically. The annoying demand to the user is eliminated and the number of messages is significantly reduced. The complete database can be found online at www.isthisfilesafe.com You see.
Online Armor 5.5 also uses its own Cloud scanning, which also applies to all new and still unknown programs. This cloud scanning uses the in-house Emsisoft E1 scanning engine, which is also used by MalAware.http://www.emsisoft.de/de/software/malaware/) is used. Over 7 million signatures of malicious malware are already available in this cloud database – and there are thousands more every day. They primarily help to detect malicious files and then immediately trigger a targeted alarm.
This too Update and license system has been completely revised and greatly simplified. Updates to the software are loaded and installed much faster from the network. In addition, Online Armor now uses the typical Emsisoft license system, in the customer center all used Emsisoft products can be found and conveniently managed.
