Popup "new network" messages

Jay Sheldon — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:07:36 GMT

Hi
I've just installed the trial version of OA Premium and am having trouble interpreting two pops.

1. Online Armor has detected a new network "Local area connection 2". It seems to describe my Ethernet card. I'm not on a network -- the computer is a standalone. So should I have "Trust network" checked, or unchecked?

2. While online, OA says it has detected a new network, the WAN, and gives an address and a gateway. Is this the online connection? And should "Trust network" be checked or unchecked?

OA stops executables just downloaded

skross — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:53:56 GMT

I just installed OA 4.0.0.10 free and when i downloaded files from Firefox and tried to execute them I got a "can't access file" error from windows.
Sure enough, i looked in OA and the executables were listed their.
Isn't there an option to automatically allow execution or at least ask when i execute a downloaded file?
Just giving me a windows error, throew me off track and had me running registry scripts to try to fix it.

I couldn't find any info about this in the forums. please advise.

few basic questions

acr — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:07:47 GMT

I had a few questions I would like to ask about Online Armor Premium which I have installed on my laptop.

First, I normally use Google Chrome web browser. Does the "web shield" alert to sites known to be bad (historical analysis like siteadvisor) or does the web shield have a real time monitor?

Also, does "banking mode" work with Google Chrome?

I have the option of installing a number of different antivirus programs at this time. The list I have to choose from include F-secure, Norton, MSE, Avast free. If I choose one of the free options I plan on supplementing it with Prevx free. I am just wondering whether Online Armor has any compatibility issues with either F-Secure (DeepGuard) or Norton 2010 (Sonar 2). And whether there is any compatibility issue with Prevx (and MSE or Avast).

If someone has been using an antivirus program that works well with Online Armor I would appreciate that info too.

Are there any test results showing how the Online Armor web shield stacks up against the http scanners of programs like Avast, F-secure and Norton 2010?

I know that's lost of questions- just looking forward to getting my laptop set up and running.

Thanks.

PS- my set up is Vista Home Basic, Core 2 duo. And I use the Norton UAC Tool.

Hello,

my firewall detect a almost permanent link with the distant adress: WanConnectionDevice.home:60000 country : Intranet

What's that? a local network? I don't have one at this time but I remember that by the pass I tried to install a home network: Is the problem source? How do I uninstall it?

Thanks for any help!

Regole Utorrent OA 4.0.0.10 free

farbix89 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:43:32 GMT

Salve

Mi servirebbero le regole precise per configurare OA ad aprire le porte di utorrent.
Ho notato che quelle generiche,fatte in automatico cliccando "consenti" nella finestra pop-up,non sono soddisfacenti e chi usa la rete Bittorrent sa che questo protocollo è molto sensibile ai vari firewall,porte non aperte,router e NAT,risentendone molto in termini di velocità.
Vorrei impostare le regole manualmente,così da non dover disattivare OA per scaricare e ottenere il massimo da utorrent,ma non so da dove iniziare:confused:
Qualcuno può aiutarmi?

not installed on x64bit yet

retina — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:12:02 GMT

All versions prior to 4x have worked well on x32bit of winxp/windows server 2003. There are pretty sure bugs when it works on server 2003; it can not remember settings added later on the first initial settings, and safe-run does not work either. It is not sure they ironed out such bugs in version 4.x
No version of OA works on x64 I tried on win6 (server 2008).
Anyone knows when we can have new updates on OA to support x64 platform for win6/win7.

killed Windows by blocking all proccesses with OA

wildestseas — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:01:40 GMT

I am running Windows Server 2003 with the most recent patches, etc.

So from time to time I get a little suspicious about spyware and delete all of the permissions out of the Program Guard in Online Armor. I just like to re-verify that there are no rogue processes running under the radar by going through all of the permissions again as they come up. So very unfortunately, I selected all of the process permissions in Program Guard, and accidentally hit the block button rather than the delete button. My stupid trigger finger even went so far as to click the yes button on the verification window that popped up. This caused the OS to immediately shut down and reboot. When it starts up again, it immediately reboots (because Online Armor loads and blocks all of the system processes) before I can do anything. It is now locked in a never-ending continuum of reboots.
Any advice? I really shouldn't be running Windows Server 2003 (as I don't really know my way around it) - it's just that I needed an OS and Microsoft gave it to me for free because I'm a student.

Thanks in advance!

what would be the problem ?

s3zgin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:48:54 GMT

Quote:

Windows could not reach device, path or folder. You may not have necessary permission to reach items

How can i fix this?

OA 'phones home' during booting

JW Clements — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:28:28 GMT

Until now I've had only a dial-up connection, now I have a cellular connection. On the cellular, during the boot process I get a pop up saying that a program wants information from www.tallemu.com. In the early days I checked the 'Don't ask again' box and cancelled, then later on I'd manually connect, etc. I do see OA connecting to tallemu every few minutes, regardless of dial-up or broadband.
The problem is that today I clicked the Connect button on the pop up as soon as it popped up and the system started trying to connect and locked up requiring a hardware reset/reboot, I did not do the same thing twice which is why I can post this.
I rebooted and this time I just didn't respond to the pop up at all. After a minute or so it disappeared, then it reappeared. It kept repeating the appear/disappear cycle until I finally felt that I'd waited long enough and clicked the 'Connect' button (and got connected and OA immediately phoned home, it showed on the FW Status!).
Could I prevent the pop up until the boot process has really finished if I checked the 'Options > Firewall > Block all the traffic during system boot'?
A supplemental question is: Why does OA 'phone home' every few minutes? Is it protecting me, if so, how? Is it just for tallemu's own use? An explanation would be appreciated.

OA 4.0 WIN Fehlermeldung

Kurt W — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:29:35 GMT

Hallo zusammen,

bis jetzt hatte ich ja eigentlich mit der 4.0.0.10 unter WIN XP SP3 keine Probleme.

Nun gestern verursachte OA beim herunterfahren den ersten Blauen Bildschirm: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

Ich hoffe das war nur ein Einzelfall.:???:

keylogger detected and get screen content msgs

lamic — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:36:32 GMT

I seem to be getting popups telling me that a program "trying to get screen content", or that they "could be recording what you type" for a number of programs, including ones I would think are ok, like itunes, etc. What is going on with this? Do I grant them permission?

I'm also unsure which programs to grant access to svchost.exe.
