Malware Defender, Spyshelter Free or Winpatrol Free ?

Hello guys, im searching for the best free HIPS for my setup (no need Firewall with HIPS)

I know nothing is 100%, but from this 3 what is better against all types of malware?

Thanks

 

We'll winpatrol isn't a true classic HIPS. Don't get me wrong its great to monitor some of your system. What are you looking for and what else do you have running?

WinPatrol Free doesn't work against many malware, it only monitors parts of your system every x minutes.
Malware Defender is very naggy, but very effective if you can understand it.
Never tried SpyShelter.

 

Personally, I use both Malware Defender and SpyShelter. I have SpyShelter System Protection off.

 

I assume you are not using 64-bit OS because MD only works with 32-bit.

MD provides a much broader spectrum of protection than does SpyShelter. MD covers files, registry items, network connections, services, dlls, & processes. All aspects of MD are fully configurable with VERY extensive granularity. Settings can be imported & exported. Self-protection is excellent.

MD does have a learning mode. A new user can put MD into learning mode and then do that user's "usual & safe activities" for several days, thereby automatically configuring MD. Then turn MD's learning mode OFF & you're good to go. After that, MD's pop-ups should be few, but the ones that do come should NOT be taken lightly.

As to OP's statement "no need firewall with HIPS" -- maybe yes, maybe no. If user is behind a Router then incoming is well-protected. MD's network controls will offer a degree of protection for outgoing. However, Xiaolin has stated that MD's network control does not filter low level packets. See HERE and HERE and a user comment HERE.

If user is NOT behind a router then -- instead of MD -- he might better take a look at Outpost Free, or Private FW (also free). Both of these apps have excellent SPI-based FWs coupled with adequate HIPS.

 

Why? What have you against SS?

 

Don't see the need to try it.

 

I use Windows 7 32 bits, and i no need firewall because i use Norton Internet Security, then i will try Malware Defender thanks guys.

 

Malware Defender!!

 

and ? jumbo bottle of aspirin?

 

i will say winpatrol plus

 

Malware Defender is very crazy, faster, i love this paranoic style now my setup is closed thanks for all.

 

Good choice and welcome to the paranoid club!

 

indeed
