Default Do I need HIPS when I've got WSA?

The title says it all.

Best Wishes,
Iron Man

You always needs HIPS, without HIPS, you cannot walk!

Kindest regards,

Just kidding!

WSA does has some sort of a HIPS. Go to Settings and then Heuristics. More to see how the heuristics work in WSA at https://detail.webrootanywhere.com/s...ing_heuristics

Hey Iron Man,

I'm using WSA Essentials + PrivateFirewall on all of my systems right now. Although you will see many opinions on this forum, I have found this combination to be very light but powerful.

PrivateFirewall contains a HIPS that seems to complement WSA extremely well. I have never seen the two conflict with each other in either the firewall or HIPS arenas. Layers of protection software; that's what I like...

I agree They make a great combo Used them together for about a year now (incl WSA pre-release).

WSA AV with Sandboxie Paid for me. I don't need or even want a traditional HIPS.

My favorite combination is WSA AV and Defensewall, - man, is that a great HIPS !

The only thing about Defensewall, it works (so fare) only at 32bit systems, becuse of the patch guard in 64 bit systems.

It looks like PF doesn't like WSA too much (The snap taken from PF user guide )
