    How can it get bypassed easily? I ask. I put the settings to ask when a unknown program wants to run.

    If you through a couple of hips programs on and a couple of AntiExcutables on you may lockup the system nice and tight.The Best security on the planet, 100 percent malware proof.:D

    Spyshelter has a free version and can be configured to be a hips,All though it's specified as Anti Keylogger.

    Malware Defender but not 64 bit ready.Classical type hips.

    Comodo Defense but if I remember right the firewall is bundled or should I say firewall bundled with Hips with option to turn off hips - Defense +.

    Online Armor free has Hips with firewall,but has the option to remove the firewall and leave the hips components.


    There maybe some othesr but I can't recall at the moment,

    Sandboxie (paid) and AppGuard. This might be the best combo yet for me.

    if you know how to play with it it is a nice program and also it has sort of firewall like protection with port 25 i believe it is to protect email trafic or some like that:thumb:

    Yep I'm getting the same thing J. Programs are running slow. Uninstalled it and my system is back to being zippy. Oh well so much for Bufferzone.

    for me i found Hips programs to be more flexible and les work than sandboxes,but bufferzone pro is unique it is like a sandbox/hips sort of thing but it slowed down the system especially when live video streaming:D

    I just wanted to try it as I like the gui better than sandboxie's but I don't like sandboxes usually. Its a nice program but they need to fix the lag and some bugs. I like HIPS or BB as well J.
