Web Shield
Most threats today are spread through web pages on the internet. Attackers can create their own website that appears to be a legitimate website, hack into legitimate websites and add malicious code to be delivered to unsuspecting visitors, or by joining advertising networks and embedding malicious objects in advertisements that get displayed on legitimate websites. There are many different forms that web threats can take, and Online Armor is designed to be as comprehensive as possible without interfering with the website’s layout.
Rather than trying to identify every dangerous or fraudulent website on the internet, which can come and go very rapidly, Online Armor protects you against many of the dangerous tricks and web objects used to scam you or infect your computer.
Online Armor’s Web Shield will filter potentially dangerous web objects, malicious security tricks used by attackers/fraudsters, and Block malicious/fraudulent websites before your computer can load them. When a website tries to load a potentially malicious object, Online Armor will pop-up and ask you if you want to Allow or Block the object. The Web Shield can also be configured to filter all objects silently and replace the filtered items with a placeholder showing that the item was blocked.
The Web Shield additionally checks to make sure that when you visit a financial, or other important website that you are taken to the website you expect and not a fraudulent one.
Online Armor's Web Shield can also automatically and silently filter dangerous content from specified websites that that you do not trust to be safe but have content you want to view.
The Web Shield can be configured from “Web Sites” in the main menu of the Online Armor Control Panel.
Note: This feature is not available in Online Armor Free.
