Outpost Firewall Pro and HIPS of ESET NOD32 Antivirus

Hello,

Is there a risk of conflict with the pro-active protection of Outpost and the HIPS of ESET NOD32 HIPS (Automatic mode with rules)?

In advance, thanks for your replies.

Without knowing more about Outpost Pro, I couldn't say that the Proactive Protection module would conflict with ESET HIPS however I wonder if there might possibly be some performance conflict with the ESET Real Time Scanner and the Outpost Program Activity Monitor.

I'd be interested in seeing what others have to say about this.

I switch off NOD32's HIPS. I can't really recall the exact problem I was facing the in the past, but I did remember there was a problem having both of them active at the same time.

Don't forget that with HIPS switched off, NOD32's self-protection is also disabled.

 

Outpost has hips functionality of its own,so its better that you disable ESET's hips,if you use them together then you probably might be better off downgrading eset to version 4.2,which is what i use,as i found system freezes with version 5.2,most likely due to the hips in eset.
