The following innovations make Online Armor 5.5 our best firewall ever:

    Integration of Anti-Malware Network:
    Unknown programs are immediately cross-checked against the cloud. The Online Database contains around 4 million entries and relies on the intelligence of the cloud. Programs considered harmless are automatically permitted, while annoying pop-up windows and alerts are omitted. So you can totally focus on your work!

    New cloud-based scan:
    Our cloud scan, already used in Emsisoft MalAware, has been included in Online Armor. Even if there is no record of a file in the Anti-Malware Network, more than 7 million signatures mean that malware can be recognized reliably to keep your PC safe.

    Improved license and update system:
    Software updates are downloaded and installed way quicker. Moreover, Online Armor relies on the license system used for other Emsisoft products. Access our Customer Center to find and manage the licenses for all your Emsisoft products in one place. Your Online Armor license key will be automatically transferred to the new system as soon as you use version 5.5 for the first time. Unnecessary key resets when reinstalling your OS are a thing of the past.

    New pricing system rewards your loyalty:
    The 1-year license is 25 % cheaper if renewed once the initial 1-year period has expired and will be a further 5 % cheaper for every additional year you renew it. Long-term customers can thus benefit from discounts of up to 50 %.

    Fine tuning:
    We have added news popups that keep you up to date with the latest Emsisoft news and fixed several potential incompatibilites, e.g. in combination with Ad Muncher or WinCrypt. As well as countless minor changes for improved user experience and best protection.

1.7.0 (2012.04.28):

    improved the application design (and now uses the free Blueberry Basic icon set by icojam - http://www.icojam.com).
    changed the logic to allow any user to display the notifications, even in a multi user environment, with three different executable (Notifier.exe, RuleManager.exe and Console.exe).
    NB: when using the "enable for all" option, Windows UAC will display a notification when creating a rule (even for admin accounts). This is way more secure than the way it was previously working.
    The WFN Console still requires an admin account as well.

1.6.2 (2011.11.09):

    fixed the previous fix as it was still not working properly (I know, shame on me...).
    NB: I advise to remove any global svchost.exe rule created with the previous version to allow a proper service redetection.

Schnellkontrollen für die Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall Control erleichtert die Konfiguration des windowsinternen Feuerwalls. So spart die Freeware eine ganze Menge Klicks auf dem Weg in die Tiefen der Submenüs.

Die Windows Firewall ist nichts Besonderes, tut aber gute Dienste. In Sachen Bedienbarkeit hat sie jedoch definitiv nicht die Nase vorn, ein simples Umschalten des Sicherheitslevels erfordert bereits eine vergleichsweise lange Reise in Untermenüs der Konfigurationsseite. Die kostenlose Windows Firewall Control platziert ein kleines Symbol in der Taskleiste und ermöglicht so die Umschaltung der verschiedenen Überwachungsstufen mit nur zwei Klicks. Ist eine bestimmte Sicherheitsstufe aktiviert, eröffnet sich zudem ein neues Menü. Hier fügen Anwender neue Regeln für einzelne Programme hinzu bzw. zeigen und passen vorhandene Regeln an.

Die kostenlose Windows Firewall Control macht die Bedienung des Windows Feuerwalls einfacher. Abgerundet wird der Helfer durch eine Import- / Exportfunktion, das ist besonders praktisch zum Übertragen oder Wiederherstellen der Einstellungen.

Freeware

What's new:>>

- New: Context menu was added in Manage Rules window. It contains items from the
right panel.
- New: Main window of the program can be moved across the screen. It sticks to the
desktop edges and the taskbar, like Winamp does. Also, it won't close itself anymore
when the user clicks outside of it.
- New: Main window contains a new button which minimizes the program to system tray.
The same result can be achieved if the user double clicks on the main window.
- Updated: The notification window was reworked.
- Fixed: Shortcut to Resource Monitor does not work in Windows Vista.
- Fixed: Notifications sometimes appear even if the profile is set to High Filtering,
where all notifications should be disabled.
- Fixed: Some windows can be maximized, when they shouldn't.

Whats new: >>

- Improved: Memory consumption was reduced by removing singleton pattern from "Manage Rules"
window. In this way the resources that are used by this view are released on window close.
This view is recreated every time but it is also disposed every time.
- Improved: Memory consumption was reduced due to programatically calls to Garbage Collector
in some critical points of the program's logic. This allows a better memory management.
- New: The windows that support resizing can now be resized from the right and bottom borders.
In the previous versions the only way to resize these windows was the bottom-right corner.
- New: Minimize buttons were added to "Manage Rules" and "Create new rules from..." windows.
- Fixed: "Manage Rules" does not close and does not disappear from taskbar if it is maximized.
- Fixed: The position and size of "Manage Rules" window are not saved properly on some systems.
- Fixed: Windows of WFC appear without names in Task Manager.
- Removed: The dependency to Workstation service was removed. The notifications system works
from now on without needing of this service to be enabled. "DNS Client" and "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper"
are still required to resolve the IP and ports.
- Removed: The fade in and fade out effects were removed from "Manage Rules" to improve the
loading time.

Kleine Bemerkung am Rande ... der Thread heißt "Suftwrefirewalls ..." 

[SiLæncer]

ups ... nun nicht mehr ... thx

[SiLæncer]

TinyWall ist eine zweite Verteidigungslinie hinter der in Windows eingebauten Firewall. Die Freeware kontrolliert den ein- und ausgehenden Datenfluss und blockt unautorisierten Datenaustausch.

TinyWall verzichtet bewusst auf Popup-Meldungen an den Anwender. Statt dessen arbeitet die Sicherheitssoftware mit so genannten White-Listen. Bis auf die wichtigsten Windows-Dienste blockt TinyWall zunächst alle Apps die eine Datenverbindung aufbauen wollen. Um eine Freigabe zu erhalten, steuert man die Software via dem Programmmenü in der Taskleiste. Hier editiert man mit wenigen Mausklicks die Verbindungsfreigabe sowie die Whitelist oder deaktiviert die Firewall.

Mit dem kostenlosen TinyWall verbessern sicherheitsbewusste Nutzer ihren Schutz bei Ausflügen ins Netz. Die Freeware sollte jedoch immer nur als sinnvolle Ergänzung zu einer bestehenden Firewall beziehungsweise Antivirensoftware angesehen werden.

activation code based on the new activation scheme.
