    Hi,

    I was just wondering if there is a IS product with a HIPS.

    I only saw IS product with AV, AS, FW.

    I heard that NIS 2009 has Norton Antibot, a Behavior Blocker.

    I also heard that KIS have HIPS, but I'm not sure.

    Are there any other IS with HIPS?

    And maybe Heuristics and HIPS together?

    (IS products seems to cover a lot more than just AV AS FW theses days.)

    Thanks!

    KasperskyInternetSecurity has HIPS and heuristics, although, I think most, if not, all AVs have heuristics these days.

    I dont know about other IS's which have HIPS, although I'm guessing a few others do... lets wait and see :)

    Yes KISS 2009 has PDM which is a behavior blocker. It can be set to be loud or quiet. Even in loud, it isnt as trigger happy as the likes of D+.

    Few off the top of my head NIS 2009, ZoneAlarm 2009 IS, Kaspersky, Online Armor IS. (I believe Avira has it also)

    I know there is more. but cant think of them off the top of my head.

    Kaspersky, Norton, F-secure and Panda all have HIPS. McAfee also has some HIPS function but they are turned off by default. I think virtually all signature scanners has some kind of heuristics these days.

    Rising firewall and AV both have HIPS.

    this forum is biased!
    F-Secure has Deepguard, which in my opinion is the best of the bunch.

    Yep.

    The HIPS (Defense+) in CIS is quieter now thanks to the AV & Upgrades D+ Technologies. It will only get more quieter with the upcoming integrations :)

    There's no such thing. The only reason D+ is quieter now is because the amount of things it covers now - and hence the amount of protection provided - by default has been reduced, NOT because of so-called upgrades to the technology (there aren't any). If you add those rules back to get the necessary amount of protection it becomes as noisy as ever.

    D+ still lacks any ability to rollback changes done by malware or terminate offending processes on the spot. Instead of worrying about which suite has a HIPS, just install the one you like and add ThreatFire to it; problem solved.

    Although Online Armor has firewall & HIPS, its AV (Kaspersky) is NOT a full-scope antivirus program. Therefore I would hesitate to call OA an IS.

    Avira as yet has no HIPS of any kind.

    What do you mean by full scope?

    The Kaspersky AV included with OA AV+ is not the full KAV program. AV+ is not your traditional AV. It merely does a scan when you execute files. It will flag a file as dangerous when infected and you have the ability to block. The AV+ does not check actively all files on your system (read and write) like a traditional AV. Neither does it have a "stand-alone on-demand scanner."

    With PCTools SpyDoctor with AV, you can add the the "Behavior Guard" addon for HIPS.
    Behavior Guard here is a renamed version of Threatfire.

    Well a scan on execution is quite wide in terms of coverage. Can you think of a situation where an on-read or on-write scan would have prevented malware from infecting your computer but an on-execution wouldn't have?

    Look - you asked a question. I answered it. I also gave you multiple links on the OnlineArmor support forum that verify my answer that OA AV+ is NOT a full-scope AV. Even Mike Nash readily admits that fact.

    Now you want to debate the necessity for having a full-scope AV in an IS? That is NOT the topic of this thread. Find someone else to spar with!

    I'm not looking to spar nor am I disputing the facts so don't take it personally. It is a legimate and relevant question so can anyone answer it?

    BitDefender 2009 products include a behavioral blocker. You need first to switch to advanced view after that go to antivirus if you change the protection level this will also increase the amount of pop-up's.
