Program Guard

Today’s malware is often designed to allow an attacker access to your personal data or even complete control of your computer. Unfortunately anti-malware scanners are unable to keep up with the number of malicious programs circulating on the internet today. Even if you were able to combine the detection of all anti-malware scanners together there would still be a considerable amount of malware that could get by undetected, especially in the time between when new malware is first released and when you download the update to add detection for it. Once malware runs undetected, it may then employ sophisticated tricks to bypass firewalls and remain undetected even after antivirus and anti-spyware programs have added detection signatures.

To protect against malware that gets past anti-malware scanners, Online Armor will try to identify any program that tries to run on your computer and can offer to let you decide when an Unknown program tries to run. When an Unknown program is Allowed to run, Online Armor will then monitor it for potentially malicious behavior that could compromise your security and/or privacy.

When a program starts to run, Online Armor will first try to make a decision automatically by using OASIS to check if it recognizes the program as Trusted or Untrusted, and scan it with the Antivirus engine if you are using Online Armor ++.

The Program Guard can be configured from “Programs” in the Main Menu of the Online Armor Control Panel.
