online armor free outbound data question

hey wilders, i was monitoring the online armor free firewall status and i noticed that sometimes when i type, the outbound data goes to anywhere between 6b/s to around 10b/s.

is this normal? right now as im typing i dont see any outbound data activity, but sometimes i can see some outbound data

or could it just be normal inbound/outbound data going in and out?

 

anyone?

oh and can a mod move this to the firewall section

 

noone?

 

i think it is normal as OA might be querying its OASIS database about progs being run

 

does the free version even use oasis?

 

from this response I interpert that it does (could be wrong)

of course you can always ask in their forum

 

In my experiance, no it only uses the prefigured whitelist. It doesn't use OASIS like the paid versions do to confirm popularity based on users.

 

could the outbound data mean a keylogger? or is it just normal behavior of the computer?

 

It depends on what process and what location it is establishing the connection.

Also are you sure it is always when you type or just every so often it sends in and out?

 

mosrtly just at random times. not alwasy when i type
