[jasonX]

 

We at Geeks For Your Information are very pleased to announce our 
OSArmor PERSONAL + SysHardener PERSONAL Christmas 2023 Giveaway!

 

 

We would like to thank NoVirusThanks™ Company Srl for sponsoring us the giveaway prizes

 

Overview


OSArmor is a Windows OS "smart security" application that monitor and block suspicious processes behaviors to prevent infections by malware, ransomware, and other threats. This tool analyzes parent processes and prevents, for example, MS Word from running cmd.exe or powershell.exe. It prevents ransomware from deleting shadow copies of files via vssadmin.exe, blocks processes with double file extensions (i.e invoice.pdf.exe), blocks USB-spreading malware, and much more. It is lightweight, requires zero user input and protects your system while running in the background. In combination with OSArmor you can also use SysHardener to harden even more Windows OS settings.

 

Even in it's default settings the user gains a good additional layer of defense and most malware delivery methods are blocked: VBS/JS/VBE/WSF scripts, MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint/etc.. exploit payloads, COM/PIF processes, and much more. OSArmor drastically reduces the possibility of getting infected by ransomware, malware and other pests that spread via emails, scripts, maldocs, etc.. OSArmor also provides "Advanced options" so the user (recommended for experts) can increase the protection layer he desires.

How to Activate OSArmor with your License Key

Custom Block Rules
With OSArmor you can write custom block rules to block specific processes behaviors. By using simple variables like %PROCESS% you can match many process fields, including process, parent process, command-line, signer, MD5 hash, process integrity, and much more. This allows you to create complex and smart rules to block new malicious processes (LOLBins, etc.) or processes you don't want to allow in your system.

More Info on Custom Block Rules HERE

 

How to Create Custom Block Rules in OSArmor

Note: Custom block images are from previous versions -- block functions are similar.
 

Exclusion Rules
With OSArmor you can write exclusion rules to allow a blocked process to run. By using simple variables like %PROCESS% you can match many process fields, including process, parent process, command-line, signer, MD5 hash, process integrity, and much more. This allows you to create smart exclusion rules to safely allow a process behavior that is blocked by OSArmor. Match multiple fields (e.g: process and signer) to create safe rules.

Overview


Harden Windows Settings with SysHardener

SysHardener is a Windows OS security application that allows any user to harden Windows settings to mitigate cybersecurity threats. With this tool the user can restrict functionalities of Windows and secure vulnerable applications (i.e Office and Adobe Reader). He, (the user) can unassociate VBS, VBE, JS, ISO, IMG, MSI, CHM file type associations, disable Macros and ActiveX on Office, disable unused Windows Services, block outbound connections of specific programs via Windows Firewall, and much more. 


Mitigate Cybersecurity Threats

SysHardener hardens the Windows OS to reduce the attack surface by disabling functionalities not required. Ransomware are known to spread via email as malicious attachments, that include ISO, IMG, VBS, JS, JSE, WSF. With SysHardener program you can unassociate these (uncommon) file types so when your employee opens a file named invoice.js, it will fail to open. He, (the user) can mitigate Microsoft Office exploits by disabling Macros, OLE and ActiveX as well as disable Windows Script Host (wscript.exe) so JS, VBE, VBS, WSH scripts will fail to execute. SysHardener has included some smart Windows Firewall rules to block outbound connections of commonly abused system processes such as powershell.exe, certutil.exe and curl.exe.


 

FEATURES
 

• Windows Security Tweaks
  
  With this program you can enable some Windows security tweaks useful to harden the OS settings, such as disable of autoplay for USB devices, show hidden files and file extensions, enable SmartScreen, remove MS-MSDT protocol, enable LSA protection and Svchost.exe mitigation options.
  
  
  
• Improve Windows Privacy
  
  You can find some important tweaks to improve privacy of Windows OS by disabling specific Windows settings that may be used to transmit data of your PC usage to Microsoft or third-party providers. Useful to disable the automatic installation of Windows apps like Candy Crush.
  
  
  
• Unassociate File Types
  
  A strong windows hardening rule is to unassociate all file types that can be used in first stages of an attack, such as VBS, JS, HTA, PIF, SCR, WSF, WSH, and the more recent ISO, IMG, VHD, MSI. So if an user receives a .ISO attachment and double-clicks on it, nothing will happen.
  
  
  
• Disable Windows Services
  
  You should disable Windows services that you don't use to reduce the attack surface, thus we added options to disable some Windows services like Geolocation, User Experience and Telemetry, Remote Registry, Program Compatibility Assistant, Windows Media Player Network.
  
  
  
• Windows Firewall Rules
  
  We added some important Windows Firewall rules to block outbound connections of commonly abused system processes (such as powershell.exe, certutil.exe, curl.exe, bitsadmin.exe). We also added firewall rules for .NET Framework executables and Office applications.
  
  
  
• Uninstall Windows Apps
  
  We added options to uninstall default Windows Apps such as Microsoft News, Weather, Move & TV, Cortana, Windows Store, Maps, Sticky Notes, Feedback Hub, Windows Terminal, Solitaire Collection, People, 3D Viewer.
  
  
  
• Command-Line Usage
  
  You can apply or restore tweaks using command-line parameters such as /ApplySelected {path-to-INI-file} and /RestoreSelected {path-to-INI-file} to automate the hardening of multiple Windows PCs. If you append the param /Reboot the PC will be rebooted once done.
  
  
  
• Simple Configuration
  
  The program is simple to use, just select the tweaks and click the button "Apply Selected" to apply selected tweaks, or "Restore Selected" to factory-restore selected tweaks. Right click on an item to view additional options, you can easily apply a single tweak with "Apply This".
  
  
  
• Windows 10 & 11
  
  The application works on Windows 10 (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit). Support for older OS like Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 is partial since some tweaks may not be available on these older OSs.

  Disable unnecessary Windows functionalities and secure vulnerable applications.

"Share feedback to NoVirusThanks™ Company Srl., about OSArmor/SysHardener and why do you want to win a license of both security applications?"

I have all praises for NoVirusThanks™ Company for OSArmor and SysHardener. There's only one request from them, perhaps, they can publish a "preferred settings" for both applications so the new users can adapt it or take the cue from it. I know that even in default settings the apps perform good but a little tinkering will make any user, especially the new user, feel better and love the app more. When a "preferred settings" has been published perhaps GFYI can publish it here also. I'd like to wi a license for OSArmor Personal so I can extend my license in use. I'd like to have a chance to win a license of SysHardener Personal so I can have a chance to use it and have added protection. 


Thanks for this contest! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

I have been searching for a security software for a while. I have tried many firewalls but my system just can't handle them. I would like to give OSArmor/SysHardener a try. I am not that tech savvy so can't really say about specific features but if it will stop something malicious on my computer then all praise to the NoVirusThanks Company.

Thanks for this giveaway! Thank you very much NoVirusThanks!

I want to win both licenses for NoVirusThanks and OSArmor/SysHardener in this contest because I am always looking for the best possible ways to protect my operating system from malicious "bad actors" online who are looking for ways to invade my computer with malware that will destroy or corrupt my operating system or steal my valuable private information. After reading jasonX's review and using online search engines to find other reviews from software critics that I respect, I believe that NANO Security anti-malware software will be a very good addition to my defense system. - So, please count me in this contest.
