[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 847523, member: 78686"] I think they do this because most users don't bother about changing any settings so they keep it on by default as it provides more protection. An example, the site mentioned in this thread is only blocked if SSL scanning is turned on. [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/heur-trojan-psw-script-generic.96436/"]Q&A - HEUR:Trojan-PSW.Script.Generic[/URL] It's not blocked when SSL scanning is off. Tested with ESET and Kaspersky, same results. So, the default settings are average user focused so it's on by default. This is where they should do better with the default settings. HIPS is set to Automatic mode by default. In automatic mode, ESET blocks activity if it matches the predefined rules and anything suspicious is allowed to run. In Smart Mode, ESET would sometimes ask for user permission if it detects anything suspicious. Though it's very rare to receive a prompt from HIPS but it at least does in smart mode while in the default automatic settings it's nonexistent. Smart mode should be the default and many users have been asking for it for the last 2-3 years. I don't understand why don't they listen! [/QUOTE]
