An HIPS for Windows 10

You meant inspect children. You can run ReHIPS as an anti-exe and application control. Set the security level to permissive, put the can execute program on inspect children and toggle the can be executed on allow.

Works nicely to prevent unknowns you download from being executed, unless you allow them. In the free demo version, you're limited to sandboxing ten processes that you might want to run in isolation. A free alternative is Microsoft Defender Application Guard, which opens in Microsoft Edge in sandboxed mode on any untrusted site and extensions installed on other browsers will redirect there.

ReHIPS is both an anti-exe and a sandbox. I wouldn't describe it as a classical HIPS because its usually quiet and pop ups are rare. If you configure it according to the above recommendation, its as good as VoodooShield and CatchPulse in executable management.

 

Interesting. There's an enormous list of executables in its database and I wonder what do you exactly mean.

 

Put the browsers on inspect children and then on allow. You can have only ten processes running on the free version.

 

Actually I have two licenses for it so no problem with the number of processes.

 

OSArmor could be considered a smart HIPS. Its not going to alert you to everything on your system like classical HIPS but that's why its found a following.

 

BitDefender ATC wants to delete two legitimate applications as malware and after excluding them from scanning, it still complains they're there but since I forbade it to disinfect, all is good. FPs exist when security software that woke up goes rogue.

 

THe link works again, I downloaded the " free version ": I wonder if it works again or if it became a trial that tfinished his period will expire.

 

Hello,
I don't know if you are referring to the old SpyShelter or to the new one but some months ago I tested the new SpyShelter https://spyshelter.com/ . After the trial period ended (if I remember correctly it was 30-days) SpyShelter automatically switched to Free mode. In Free mode I could enable only the Application Security Control module.
Anyway my OS is Windows 11 24H2, not Windows 10 but the new SpyShelter is compatible with Windows 10 too as it's reported in its changelog https://spyshelter.com/help/SpyShelter-Changelog

12.8 (05/Sep/2022)

• Added support for Windows 10 22H2

[Edited] Compared to the screenshot that dates back to a few months ago they have since removed the Registry Integrity Control module.

 

Thank you. I'm reffering to the new version. Actually I need it for a new pc with Windows 11: I posted here because I didn't want to open a new thread.

 

I understand. Anyway, if you wish, you can post in thread named SpyShelter 12 as it refers to the new SpyShelter too https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/spyshelter-12.422366/page-21
