Who would like to see custom protected folder function for the HIPS

As the other thread is too old i had to start a new one... https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1888815#post1888815

I got an answer from Eset support. I asked as a "feature request" to implement a function to protect custom folders...

Answer is: " HIPS is not designed to protect custom folders..."

So i want to start a litle poll!


Who would like to see such a function in ESET HIPS?

 

Online Armor has a feature to protect custom folders. It works independent from the HIPS though. It gives you options to protect folder, and registry paths.

 

Yes and other HIPS can and do have custom folder protection OA, Malware Defender and Comodo (albeit not as flexible as the other 2) to name a few.

Cheers

 

I already protected some folders from modifications, HIPS is a great tool

 

@ Cutting Edgetech and chris1341:

I know that the other HIPS has this feature! So i want to see that in Eset HIPS too!


@ toxinon:

You can not do that with the Eset HIPS! I tried that and asked the support about such feature.
At the moment it is not possible to protect custom folders via Eset HIPS.

 

i tried to delete or modify all files in a protected folder, all were blocked operations

 

Which rule did you create to get this result?

 

BLOCK write to file, delete file, get access to file, and choose the folder with the "add folder" button

 

You can only do that for ONE application by one as far as i can see here...

So you can set up that rule for the explorer to get asked every time YOU try to access a folder... But i want to get asked whe malware or spyware is tryingto do that!

 

Hello,

The feature request has been forwarded to ESET's product marketing for consideration in a future release of the software.

=) Thanks Aryeh!

 

dont think it can do conflict between two or more apps protecting the same things ?? which one will be the first to protect ?

 

i won't run two HIPS together! =) That is stupid!

personally i only run ONE Security Software at time! ONE ! And built in windows security but only one third party security software! Any other option will run into conflicts, sooner or later...

 

Sorry, i badly understood you.

anyway, my question is good. I use Comodo free firewall with HIPS, if NOD32 had HIPS too, will it cause conflicts ??

 

Personally i wont run them both...

Drop Comodo and you will be fine... That's my opinion..

 

nod32 with HIPS will not be as Eset or Comodo firewall. So i will wait and see how they both can work together

 

@Habacuc
i never said you need to specify a path for the source application (such as explorer.exe)

 

I just installed the outpost firewall, other components such as antileak, application guard, component control, system guard are not installed, but I manually migrated those same rules to NOD32 HIPS.
