Online Armor ++ Free this Friday

I have got OA pro firewall from gizmos and the method you have specified works perfectly but might not be in case of giveawayoftheday actually I had downloaded some another application and installed but for some reason I had to format my computer and the next day I installed that same application and it won't allow, only trial version was possible.

 

can OA++ be installed ontop of OA Premium? or do i have to uninstall OA Premium then install OA++?

 

I would uninstall then reinstall the ++ version. They also recommend rebooting twice when doing an uninstall / reinstall.

 

twice? hmm ok...

 

hey firzen are you ready? friday it will be a nice freebie offer

 

Anyone know if the HIPS component of OA++ is that of Online Armor or A2 (Mamutu)? Does anyone know which product is used when some features of A2, OA and Ikarus overlap?

 

i was asking my self same question as i never use the ++ version

 

I am totally ready for the action....But i guess we can use the Setup in future too by using the giveaway key...

 

Mamutu is not used in OA++ per OA's forum. You would probably be better off posting your 2nd question at Tall Emu's forum.

 

What about us that already have one or more licenses? Could we take advantage of this giveaway? I mean we'll be able to register the serial in our accounts @ OA's license system or not? I guess no...but I'm asking in case someone has an answer. Thanks.

 

I hate that

 

yup......it has to do with OA's drivers not being removed before 2 reboots.

from OA forum:

 

Nice, OA have been giving lots of freebies lately

 

u know it now i can remove avast and just have OA for everything (as long as it doesnt have any slowdown that is )

ah, some good insight, thx

 

In a way, I feel jibbed off, even for something free

I use x64 and can't get this and activate it when that version arrives, so many people get something for free while I don't,

Stupid I know, just how I feel

 

yep, its too bad for x64 users, but its in the works and im sure ther will be more giveaways some point in the future

 

Yeah I do this now too. I read it on the technet blog, one reboot stops the driver and starts the removal process but is not able to clean up everything.

I would say that even if you cannot register the giveaway license with OA's licens system for later use, you may be able to activate the giveaway license and register your other licenses for later use after the giveaway subscription is up. In any case, post it on their forums and see what they say.

 

installed the trial, but what exactly is "cookie cutter" in OA? and another question, wen i go to the antivirus tab, all i see is settings for an ondemand scan, OA++ does have an antivirus that works in realtime doesnt it? cuz i dont seem to see any settings related to real time protection or am i missing something? how do i know its working or anything?

 

Never used OA++ myself but I thought that it had realtime antivirus.

 

i assume so, but i dont see any realtime setttings? and another question to anyone that does know, in options, the check updates option which u can set to diff intervals, does that include signature updates? so if i chose every 2 hours, wuld it check for signature updates every 2 hours as well as program updates or how does that work?

 

hi........++ is using the Emsi/Ikarus engine to scan files on execution. Unlike traditional AV's, OA ++ is not scanning files in realtime...hence an on demand scan.

 

You won't get any extended license from the giveaway a straight license for 1yr and it has nothing to do with your account normally in giveaway's site you have specialized installer that get activated automatically or you have a special key named giveawayoftheday

 

Yeah it is not real time AV I had asked the same question to dja2k when he used avast with OA++
