From the topic 'HIPS in V4?':

HIPS Information:

ESET Smart Security 4 and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 introduced basic Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) functionality as an extra layer of protection to our security software. It is not intended nor designed to act as a replacement for standalone HIPS products.

ESET’s HIPS protects your system from malware and unauthorized attempts to impact the security of the software. In the current release, there are no dedicated HIPS controls in the user interface. ESET delivers host-based intrusion protection through a combination of capabilities including self-defense, advanced heuristics, web access protection and protocol filtering. In particular, advanced heuristics stops potentially malicious code by analyzing their behavior and disabling them before they can do damage. ESET’s self-defense prevents malware from disabling our software and weakening the security of the user’s system. Future releases of ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus will have increased HIPS functionality.

Regarding questions about test performance on HIPS tests:

While current versions may not pass explicit tests designed for standalone HIPS products, ESET Smart Security/ESET NOD32 Antivirus are designed to accomplish the same tasks through other mechanisms (i.e., Advanced Heuristics, IDS, Self-Defense, etc.). That said, HIPS testing results for subsequent versions of ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus will be markedly improved.

Regarding questions about HIPS in Home Editions of ESET software:

Although the same HIPS functionality is present in the Home Editions of our products, ESET has not actively marketed it to that customer segment.

So to answer your question: There is no 'real' HIPS component available in NOD32.
