Online Armor Personal Firewall is a firewall originally developed by Australian company Tall Emu, until the program was sold to Emsi Software GmbH. The program provides protection on a Microsoft Windows operating system from both inbound and outbound attacks. There are three editions of this product:[2]
- Online Armor Free is freeware but is licensed for personal use only and has a limited featureset.
- Online Armor Premium is a more comprehensive commercial firewall that includes anti-phishing and anti-spam capabilities.

Overview
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In an independent proactive security challenge test [3] performed by matousec.com,[4] Online Armor Premium received a score of 99%, surpassing more well-known firewalls, such as ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky Internet Security. A well known vulnerability profiling site and company, Secunia, had not found any vulnerabilities as of March, 2008 in the software,[5] though Matousec reported a weakness 25 March 2008[6] that has been repaired in the latest version.
Online Armor has gained both negative and positive feedback with some users reporting serious compatibility problems with certain programs, such as F-Secure and Ad Muncher, as noted in the product website, but also receiving praise for its free online support and for its swift response to problems.[7]
