What is the best Behavior Blocker for Windows 10? What will stop the most malware, specifically deadly and 0 day malware. I am trying to pretty much replace signatures as I am striving for bullet proof. Thanks in advance!

- Kaspersky
- G Data
- ESET
But really, I think almost all AVs have behavior blockers. Some have just made BB as their strongest marketing point. Some have not. For example, ESET and Kaspersky employ BB through monitoring and blocking any running malicious file, without solely relying on signatures.
For me, personally, I would use Kaspersky, Emsisoft, or ESET for BB.

Afaik, KIS and ESET are HIPS.
G-Data is a BB indeed

Kaspersky has Dangerous Application Behavior detection, which I presume to be a behavior blocker, as part of the System Watcher module.
Maybe this is still relevant: What is the Proactive Defense component in Kaspersky Internet Security 2012?
ESET's way of blocking running zero-day malware tells me that it monitors application behavior, which to me refers to behavior blocker.
Of course, this is part of the overarching category of ESET's HIPS.

Bitdefender has actually "BD". => Behavioral detection, monitor active apps and when detects anything suspicious, it takes instant action. So, most likely.

That can also mean it's HIPS/HIDS. Monitoring the host isn't exactly limited to that categoryKaspersky has Dangerous Application Behavior detection, which I presume to be a behavior blocker, as part of the System Watcher module.

Is Bitdefender's BB/BD available on free version or is it only for the paid ones?

Yes, it includes free also.
Now we must recognize marketing language of the vendor, from your article description, seems look a BB indeed; but from here , they say HIPS as an Applicaton Control which is more related to the HIPS (as a feature) : "Kaspersky product is not providing complete protection of your data: HIPS protection is disabled" message when opening Protected BrowserKaspersky has Dangerous Application Behavior detection, which I presume to be a behavior blocker, as part of the System Watcher module.

HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) by defintion is a category term referencing to a feature that monitor changes in the host
and includes:
- HIPS (the feature) as we used to know it , the chatty thingy that spawn rain of alerts. Basically HIPS (as a feature) monitors activity and actions that occurs on the system without distinction if the process monitored is legit or not. Hence, the high number of alerts because all actions are covered. What is Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) and how does it work? and HIPS Explained
- Behavior Blocker uses algorithms to assess the process and tell the legitimacy of its modus operanti. It is why you have less alerts.
- The network counterpart are IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)
As i read the forum , and what i see people talking, KIS is more an Application Control (which is closest to an HIPS because it doesn't use algorithms)
ESET's way of blocking running zero-day malware tells me that it monitors application behavior, which to me refers to behavior blocker.
Of course, this is part of the overarching category of ESET's HIPS.
ESET act as Comodo and is the most chatty HIPS ever rivaling Comodo in Paranoid mode in term of alerts. Far from being a BB.

From what I understand with Kaspersky, HIPS is separate, but connected, from its BB/System Watcher.
Yes, Kaspersky's HIPS is more concerned with Application Control (categorizing programs according to a set of criteria). If you enable "interactive protection", you enable its chatty side.
From what I understand, Kaspersky's BB is with the System Watcher (notice that Application Control module is separate from System Watcher). I usually see Dangerous Application Behavior detection in the Malware Hub. Application Control categorizes malware in the Hub as Low/High restricted, but it's the System Watcher that does the cleaning/disinfecting/rollback.
Maybe, @harlan4096 can be the authority here.

That is good if they have both.

So if you are correct KIS , like comodo, has both BB & HIPS.
I think you missed Kaspersky, bitdefender, and qihoo.
indeed, maybe because i don't put and won't put much interest on those 3 vendors ^^
i wish to be "all-knowing"
Oh! That adroxideHIPS will also have HIPS + BB. But not sure when it'll be released.

the OP is asking for a signature-less solution.
So I would say the best answer is
1 DeepArmor (must apply for beta and wait a month until you hear from them)
2 Wave's new product, which did not come out yet.

Yes, Application Control, FireWall and WebCam Protection are directly connected in Kaspersky, indirectly connected with others modules... and yes its BB and formerly called "Proactive Defence" was integrated some years ago in System Watcher.
And I love Interactive Mode and chatty side

I am using Emsisoft AM for many years and IMO its BB is excellent, maybe too much lol but it is better this way.
