6. Web Filter
   • Many websites use tricks to install dangerous software on your computer. The type of software can range from the irritating display of popup advertising, through to software designed to steal information or defraud you. Online Armor inspects every page you visit and checks to see if any dangerous objects are present. If they are, you are alerted and have the opportunity to block them. Online Armor's web filter works with any web browser on your computer? including those embedded in other programs.
7. Cookie Cutter
   • Online Armor's "Cookie Cutter" transparently removes "tracking" cookies from sites you visit to guard your privacy.

If you block a program while it is still running, Online Armor will stop it and prevent it running in future.

Unwanted programs can be blocked with the program blocker, or removed completely (along with all of the files they created).
10. Settings Monitor
    • Online Armor will alert you if programs try to change your homepage in Internet Explorer or Firefox. While this is not really much of a security threat, it's an annoyance when it occurs when spyware infects your computer.
11. IE Extensions
    • Some spyware installs itself into internet explorer where it can monitor what you type, which sites you visit and even change what you see in the web browser or modify your search results. Online Armor detects a variety of Internet Explorer extensions and lists them. From here, you may easily delete them if desired. If any program attempts to install itself into Internet Explorer, Online Armor will alert you and give you the opportunity to block it.
12. DNS Checker
    • For high-value sites you need to protect, such as Online Banking sites Online Armor's DNS Checker ensures you're visiting the site you think you are. It compares the DNS results from your local machine against a trusted third-party server. This stops programs from manipulating your windows settings to misdirect you to fake sites.
13. Hosts Checker
    • Similar to the DNS Check, Online Armor checks your HOSTS file and alerts you if anything changes. The hosts file can also be used to make your web browser visit sites other than the one you intended.
14. Simplicity
    • Perhaps the best feature of Online Armor is its simplicity. All of the features work transparently, quietly and with minimum setup and fuss. You don't need to be a computer expert to use Online Armor.
