Vista64 HIPS

I feel naked without my ProSecurity running on my new Vista64 machine. In fact, I can barely use any security software which is not sitting well with me.

Can anyone tell me if any of the HIPS products out there work on Vista64?

*EDIT* In fact, any kind of sandbox software would be welcome too. SandboxIE doesn't work, does SafeSpace? Geswall? DefenseWall?

P.S. I've used the SEARCH function and couldn't get any information, sorry if this has been asked before.


Thanks heaps!!

 

Hi

I think PRSC/NAB and HauteSecure work.

 

Win Patrol works and is x64 compatible. Its basic HIPS but its free and works well nonetheless with minimal resources.

 

GesWall ..... hmm , I am not sure. U might check their site/ forums etc.

 

Real Vista64 bits aps are Comodo (with D+ as clasical HIPS) and Haute Secure (browser software sandbox), With LUA (or LUA in quiet mode with Tweak UAC and the icacls command, you are quite safe, see http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1887/2)

 

Yes -- Comodo Firewall Pro version 3 is Vista ready, both 32 & 64. Otherwise -- rots of ruck.

 

like bellgamin and others have said comodo works fine (and is pretty powerful). honestly comodo is your best bet. an excellent firewall and powerful hips that doesn't devour your system resources. go with comodo


psss i'm almost 100% sure but rising av has a built in HIPS and it works for a wide range of systems. from their website :

 

Agree.

 

I'm using NAB right now, it works perfectly on x64. Mamuto/A2 Anti-malware work as well, but require an admin account.

 

Thank you for the help and suggestions.

Basically, until I can find a HIPS powerful enough to protect my Vista x64, I've decided to run VMWare, install WinXP on it and use only WinXP with my old favourites (ProSecurity, Output Pro Firewall, SandboxIE) on it for ALL internet access/questionable program installation/testing.

That way, my Vista x64 will be only used for gaming/encoding/watching movies etc... Any dodgy downloads will be tested in a secure environment first and only be installed natively when found to not be causing trouble.

Should be fun delving into the world of Full Virtualization, for those who know about it, please expect a few questions coming up, CHEERS

 

Sounds exactly like my setup. I run vista ultimate 64-bit as my host which is only used for games and my multimedia work so i run no security apart from the default vista security. The vista ultimate EULA allows me to also install it in a virtual machine which i use for my online activities so i install all my security inside there. When not needed i can simply pause the vm so it doesn't impact my hosts performance.
