NoVirusThanks OSArmor

NoVirusThanks OSArmor is a lightweight application that can lend a hand with blocking unusual requests, behaviors and process launches that can be a potential threat to the security of your computer.

The program comes with a simple, yet appropriate interface that displays statistics regarding the number of processes blocked along with the time and date of the events. The idea behind the application is to over-watch the behavior of applications as well as processes and lend a hand with preventing a potential malware infection.

Simply put, the utility blocks the execution of encoded or malformed commands via PowerShell and Command Line, critical system modifications, downloading remote files, processes initiated via the autorun.ini from USB devices or preventing system processes from deleting the shadow copies of files and hence, blocks ransomware, for instance.

You will be happy to learn that the program comes with around 30 policies that are designed to help improve the overall security of your computer. While you do not need to configure anything and you can use the app as is, you should bear in mind that you can disable some of the policies in case they are inconvenient.

Among the malicious behaviors that can be blocked with the program, you can count processes with double file extensions, direct run of the EXE files directly from archives, preventing regsvr32.exe from running remote scripts or the deletion of the shadow copy files, just to name a few.

In spite of the fact that it does not act as a standalone security solution, NoVirusThanks OSArmor allows you to take a closer look at what is going on behind the scenes with the processes and apps that are launched. In the long run, it can help you prevent a malware infection.
