I use online armor ++ firewall on my machine and received a message earlier about a product update that would install upon next reboot. Even though it appeared to come from OA itself i still went ahead and did a little research to double check it wasnt a scam. Everything checked out and i allowed the update.
However ...
Anyone who uses this firewall will know that by double clicking the firewall icon you are able to see a graphical representation of information going in and out of your machine - listed by programme ID, local / remote address and any speed indication.
After the update this information does not exist any more. Performing a netstat command still indicates any open connections and running packet tracing software helps to analyse and create more data but .....
I am wondering if ths is
a. a new feature
b. a bug in the update
c. somethnig good (security wise)
d. something bad (security wise)
i have run a packet tracing scan for the past hour with as many programmes with internet access turned off as i can think of and can see no extraenious data streams.
