Apart from having a good Antivirus solution on your system, you need a good firewall solution too on your system to make the protection almost perfect. Online Armor Premium is a great firewall solution if you are looking for a commercial firewall to complement your existing Antivirus solution.
DEVELOPERS DESCRIPTION
If you use online banking, buy things online, send and receive emails or just browse the internet then you’re open to serious threats that your Antivirus Software just wasn’t designed to stop. That’s where Online Armor’s Personal Firewall comes in.
As many of you may be aware that Online Armor Firewall offers a free version too with some limited features. The additional features that are being offered in paid version apart from the technical support, are:
- Online Banking Mode
- Advanced Mode
- Import/Export Settings
- DNS Spoofing Protection
When you are using the Banking mode feature, then your system can only access self-authorized online banking pages, while no other homepages, including phishing pages, can be accessed. Also, it provides three types of operational modes i.e Standard, Expert and Bank Mode. Standard mode is suitable for majority of the users and very few geeky guys will need to play with Expert Mode. Bank Mode as we said earlier can be used while you are doing Banking transactions online and you want to be safe fully.
We had reviewed Online Armor last year too and one of the issues was too many popups asking the user to provide permission or block the applications which even included most common applications. Looks like OA guys had worked on this aspect and hence with the latest version, there were almost negligible popups and popups only came if the application which we are running are not the common ones. It can be a big difference for novice users as majority of users are not aware of every application that is running on your Windows Operating system.

I’m using OA version 4 and like it better than other firewalls I’ve tried. Very complete, easy to use once you’ve worked with it a bit. Would very much like to move up to version 5. Thanks for this giveaway!

OA is one of my favorite firewalls/HIPS applications. It’s reliability and the confidence in its performance, as well as the outstanding HIPS – powerful, but unobtrusive and very user-friendly [considering the inherently “paranoid” nature of a HIPS, which could test your patience and resolve at times], are good enough for me to prefer OA in the distinguished company of ultra-capable alternatives like Comodo, Outpost and privateFirewall.
Likes:
– Outstanding HIPS, surefooted, composed and confidence-inspiring
– Run Safer – excellent option to run unknown programs under LUA [either on a case-by-case basis or by setting this as default option]. Great for any Internet facing application – browsers, PDF readers, media players.
– Block traffic during system boot.
– Web Shield – phishing filter, DNS spoofing protection, BITS protection.
– Autoruns, Anti-Keylogger, File and Registry Shield – the list goes on and on…
Dislikes [don’t get me wrong, it’s a very accomplished package, these are just nitpickings from an OA aficionado]:
– Could sometimes take more than 30 seconds to display the desktop after logging in. I think this issue has been addressed with the 5.1 release, but the fix has been eluding Tall Emu / Emsisoft for quite some time.
– OA would occasionally display prompts for existing rules actions which have already been specified and rules created.
– As much as OASIS has been improved, it is still lacking the tremendous whitelisting/blacklisting power of Symantec, Kaspersky and Comodo, for example. Even with the addition of the option to trust programs that Emsisoft deems trustworthy, you still get a fair amount of prompts.
Please include me in this excellent giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity and good luck to all participating.

Would love to have a license for the Premium version. There are a lot
more settings that can be used thus added security for the user. Plus
Online Armor Premium has consistently performed well against the Black
Day Trojan and the likes that Comodo is still not efficiently
handling(until version 6 I believe ). Free version does not have the
Exclusion and configuration setup cannot be saved/imported again I read.
Also Blocklist are nor applicable to the free also. Consider me please.

I generally use complete security suit. At present using Avira internet security 2012 on my laptop. It is going to expire very soon and as firewall is concerned OA is the best,I do not know about its technicality but as I have used it earlier I am sure that its very effective and user friendly.
