How to use NetArmor
How do I use NetArmor?

Monitoring

Spytech NetArmor is built around an easy to use graphical user interface. When you first run NetArmor you will be prompted to set your options. In your options (accessible by clicking the "Options" button on the NetArmor window) you can set whether or not NetArmor loads on Windows startup - and if it loads in active mode. You also must configure how you want NetArmor to alert - you can have NetArmor alert you on all connections made to your machine - or just possible hacker intrusions. NetArmor can also be set to display a popup alert window  and/or with an optional alert sound.

Once you set your NetArmor options you just have to simply click the "Monitor" button. From here on out you can minimize NetArmor to your system tray so it is out of your way. To bring NetArmor back up, simply click the NetArmor icon in the system tray.

If you click "Monitor" without setting any alert settings, NetArmor will simply log all connections - but will not alert at all. Be sure to configure your alert settings before monitoring. You may also add or remove ports from the trojan port database as well from the options panel.

Hacker Detection

NetArmor's main purpose is to detect possible hacker intrusions. You can configure NetArmor to alert you on all possible trojan attacks - this in turn will alert you when a possible malicious attack is being made on your PC. This gives you the chance to record the attackers information and log off your machine, shutdown, disconnect, or discard the attack.  NetArmor tracks all connections with an updatable database of over 350 trojans to help create the most secure Internet environment you could imagine.


Open Ports Viewer

NetArmor's built in Open Ports Viewer allows you to view all open ports on your machine. Any open port may be a vulnerable attack point for hackers on your machine. Each open port listed in the viewer is checked to see if it is a common Internet service - if so its service name is accompanied with the open port number.


Startup Manager

NetArmor has a built in Startup Manager that allows you to view all applications that run when you turn on your PC. If any applications listed look suspect, you may remove them by clicking the "Remove" button. This will stop the selected application from loading on Windows startup.


Process Manager

NetArmor has a built in Process Manager that displays all programs running on your machine at that time. The process manager will list all programs running - even stealthy trojans that do not appear in the Windows task list.  If any files seem suspicious you may terminate their execution by clicking the "Terminate" button.


Windows Startup

NetArmor may be set to load on Windows startup. Combined with Active startup mode - this creates 24/7 monitoring while your PC is on.


Active Startup Mode
Active Startup

NetArmor can be configured to startup in Active mode. This means that when NetArmor loads it is already monitoring connections - so no need to manually start it. Combined with Windows startup - this creates the optimal Internet protection.


Trojan Port Database

NetArmor boasts a large database of over 350 known backdoor trojans. This database is used for detecting possible malicious connections from hackers or trojan users. This database may also be manually edited from the options panel - and updated with the Update feature.


Updatable Database

NetArmor's extensive trojan database may be updated regularly by clicking on the "Update NetArmor Trojan Database" item in the "File" menu. This allows you to stay up to date with known malicious trojans.


Connection Alert

When NetArmor detects a possible malicious connection - or just a normal connection depending on configuration - an alert may be made. A window may be displayed and/or an alert sound may be played. This alert window contains the suspect attacker's IP address, remote host address, remote port, and the local port that was attacked. From here you can choose to save the alert to a text file or shutdown/log off/or disconnect your machine from the Internet. You may also set NetArmor to display a flashing icon in the system tray when an alert is made.


Alert Saving

When NetArmor nabs a connection and displays the alert window you have the option of  saving the attack information by clicking on the "Save Alert" button. This allows you to conveniently store all attacks in a detailed text format - convenient in case you want to contact the users ISP for questioning.


HTML Exporting

You may export all your connection logs to an easy to read HTML format that is compatible with all web browsers - perfect for easy reading and reference.


Connection Logs

All connections are logged to the connections logs. Alerted connections are recorded in the alert logs. The connections log is saved from every session with NetArmor - while the Alerted logs are cleared everytime you restart NetArmor. These connection logs display all detailed connection information. You can view the connection status,time, local address, local port, remote address, and remote port.  All logs may be saved to text or HTML format for future reference as well. You can also clear the logs whenever you need.


Alert Sounds


Alert Responses
An alert sound can be played whenever a connection - malicious or not (depending on your configuration)  - is made.  This alert sound may be used in conjunction with the alert display window or not.Alert Responses

When the alert window is displayed you have four options to choose from. You can save the alert information to a separate text file for later reference. You can also choose to shutdown your machine, log off your machine from your network, or disconnect your dialup connection.


What is NetArmor?

Spytech NetArmor is a secure internet protection utility for your Windows PC. NetArmor's main objective is to detect possible malicious hacker backdoor intrusions and alert you so you can safely shutdown your machine, log off, or disconnect from the Internet. NetArmor is not a firewall, but a connecting monitoring utility - ideal for your personal and corporate protection. NetArmor can be set to alert you of all connections to your machine - or just possible malicious attacks. The alert window features the possible attacker's IP Address, Host Address, Remote Port, the Local Port the attack occurred on, the connection status, and the time/date of the event.  All connections and alerts are logged into an easily viewed log (viewed with the built in log viewers) from where you can save the logs as text or html.  When an alert is displayed you also have the option of saving the attack information to a file - thus allowing you to easily contact the intruder's ISP for more information.

NetArmor features an updatable trojan database listing of over 350 common backdoor trojans used today. NetArmor also has a built in process manager that allows you to see what applications are running on your machine - and shut them down if you need to. NetArmor's startup manager allows you to view all programs that start on Windows boot - allowing you to see if you have a possible trojan infection.

NetArmor is the latest technology in secure Internet usage - thus allowing you to safely surf the web without having to worry about intruder attacks!


Alert Responses

When the alert window is displayed you have four options to choose from. You can save the alert information to a separate text file for later reference. You can also choose to shutdown your machine, log off your machine from your network, or disconnect your dialup connection.


Remote Host Information

In many cases with connections - the remote host will be resolved and listed in the alert information. This host address is very useful in determining the origin of the possible attacker. Below is an example host and how to read it.

Sample Host: 1Cust207.tnt2.wausau.wi.da.uu.net

In this sample host the 1Cust207 reference commonly refers to the customer id of the ISP being used. 'wausau' in this case is the city of the attacker's ISP and 'wi' is the state. Commonly you will see 'aol' or 'sprintnet' in some hosts - these are also the names of the ISP the attacker is using. In some cases, like with the host shown above, you can look up ISP services used in that city and make queries with the attacker's IP address recorded - along with the host name and time/date of the attack.


Flashing Icon Alert

If you do not want a sound alerting you, or a popup window coming up, then you can set NetArmor to simply display a flashing icon in the system tray. This icon will display for 30 seconds after the connection and will the go back to the normal NetArmor icon. This feature is enabled in the Options panel.
