Online Armor's firewall is designed to be easy to use, right out of the box. If you don't want to understand all of the technical bits and pieces and just want to use your computer, Online Armor is for you.

After installing Online Armor, it defaults to standard mode. In standard mode you are asked no technical questions about ports, protocols and so on - just simply "Do you want to allow this program to use the internet?". A list of programs that the Tall Emu team knows are safe are included - these will be allowed to use the internet automatically.

If a program tries to use the internet and it's not on our list, you're asked a simple question: Do you want this program to be allowed to access the internet, or not? Why does it work this way?

K9 is an email filtering application that works in conjunction with your regular POP3 email program and automatically classifies incoming emails as spam (junk email) or non-spam without the need for maintaining dozens of rules or constant updates to be downloaded. It uses intelligent statistical analysis that can result in extremely high accuracy over time.

K9 learns from its mistakes and becomes better and better at being able to identify spam. More importantly it learns to recognize what you consider to be spam.

K9 is for standard POP3 email accounts only. It does not directly support Hotmail, AOL or any other kind of webmail type systems, nor does it support SSL or secure authentication as used by MSN.

Hackers and malicious insiders are an undeniable threat to your organization’s network. They have sophisticated tools and backdoor programs at their disposal with which to steal information, perform unlawful or unauthorized activities, and cover their tracks. Security professionals charged with protecting their organizations can become overwhelmed in developing specialty applications to combat these threats.

To help bridge this gap, Foundstone offers several unique utilities that you can add to your network security arsenal.

VStat is a small GUI tool that produces similar output to the traditional command line tool netstat.

In addition to showing the various states of network activity on your computer it shows the associated application name and process ID. VStat allows you to close any existing established TCP connection and will give you the ability to terminate the owning application associated with any entry, provided you have the relevant permissions to do so.

Please note that the ability to show the associated application name and process ID is only available on Windows 2000 with all current service packs and hot fixes installed and on Windows XP. When run on other Windows versions you will not see any information in the Process Name or PID columns.

iCRAplus is more than just another internet filter. It is the foundation that allows you to select and combine several filters to produce the precise solution you're looking for.

Naturally ICRAplus fully supports ICRA's self-labeling system and will effectively allow or block access to labeled sites according to your settings. However, it can also work with additional filters to block or allow websites based on a whole variety of different sources of information, whether the site is labeled or not. Therefore for enhanced functionality you are advised to install one or more of the optional modules. These are created by companies and organizations that are independent of ICRA and that may charge for their software.
