about HIPS again

HIPS are interesting in v5 RC but...

if my OLD pc is already HIPS procteted by Comodo free firewall, can I disable HIPS in nod32 and save memory and CPU power

Celeron 2.80 GHz
1.25 Go ram
XP Home SP3

 

Hello,

I'm not sure what sort of difference in performance you will see, but you do not have to use ESET's HIPS.

I did not see differences in performance after disabling or enabling the HIPS

in addition, (at this point) is not recommended because youre disabling the self-defense of your anti virus system

thanks

False !! Self-defense option is just under "Enable HIPS" and not include in it

 

then try yourself

 

Self-defense is part of HIPS. So disabling HIPS completely will also disable SD.

 

grrrrrr

you mean that self defense is checked but not enabled because in grey ??

Is it possible to seperate HIPS and SD, if not, why ??

 

Because SD uses HIPS rules to protect crucial files and keys.

 

i suggest to correct something

put HIPS above SD looks like these are two things completely separated , it would be to correct. If I thought that, others can too

 

It is correct and obvious that disabling HIPS will effectively disable SD as well (the SD check box turns grey and cannot be ticked / unticked as long as HIPS is disabled).

 

Maybe a good idea would be add another filtering mode named "automatic mode" containing only self-defense rules, on the other hand "automatic mode with exceptions" will allow to evaluate the rule list, too.
like in the firewall

 

What is the "add group" button purpose in HIPS?

 

Hey toxinon12345
I am no expert out in HIPS, in that I am just a novice, but anyway I will guess that the "add group" button purpose in HIPS" is to create a group of rules for a user account, or accounts to obtain a better control I think.

Take care
