[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1067103"] For maximum security. I would change a couple things but if we are talking max security while usable, I would change your pick of HIPS setting. Smart mode is like a placebo effect basically. I think for maximum effort "could say lock in policy mode" but most couldn't handle that so next best thing is placing the HIPS in learning mode to create a majority of rules, then after the set period switch to interactive mode to continue training the ruleset. After that point, when a user would have to run an installer though, they would either, throw it in learning mode "which is risky with new installer" or leave it in interactive mode and chose the rule set placing manually which requires a little knowledge of the system. Even if a user chose smart mode they would need to start creating rules in order to get any real benefit from it. So I know you laughed at my other post [USER=53544]@RoboMan[/USER] about the car with computer but left at default settings, but it's accurate. Advanced settings in eset are just that. Throw in custom rule creation for HIPS and FIREWALL and that computer would be gasping for breath from the restrictions. [/QUOTE]
