[QUOTE="Gnosis, post: 96477, member: 134"] Me either! Some people act like knowing for sure that their PC is not infected is a matter of national security, so they wipe it and start over. Maybe he will learn about HIPS one day so he won't be so paranoid; actually HIPS might make him really flake out. That is the biggest thing about HIPS I like--EVEN IF ALL THE TOOLS IN THE WORLD COULD NOT RID YOUR MACHINE OF AN INFECTION, HIPS WILL EXPOSE IT'S MALICIOUS ACTIVITY RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, THEREFORE; YOU REALIZE YOU NEED TO REMOVE SOME MORE MALWARE, [i][b]NOT WIPE THE DARN DRIVE!!!![/b][/i] If it begins to take days to remove malware from your machine, and you are an experienced malware killer, maybe you would wipe it then.
