Hello.
I would like to be recommended a freeware HIPS for 64-bit based systems.
Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks.

There is no longer any standalone (without firewall & other modules; HIPS-only) freeware HIPS on the market for 64-bit systems.

SpyShelter Premium is the sole option remaining on the market suitable for typical users.

pity that there is some light on hips (64 bit) on the market. By certain users should enough.

HIPS is still a part of the protection landscape, just not as standalone.

I didn't mention McAfee Enterprise standalone HIPS because most typical users have real trouble installing and initially configuring it.

for most users and in most cases, default/deny is preferable to HIPS.
Why? Because if you don't block malware at the first HIPS prompt, you are taking a risk.
Default/deny= the first HIPS prompt
