About:
"ESET Smart Security 8 is the latest edition of ESET's popular security suite. It includes an antivirus engine, web browsing and antiphishing protection, a host intrusion prevention system, social media protection, a firewall, spam filter, parental controls and more.

A memory scanner checks application in RAM, so bypassing many of the tricks malware might use to hide its real code.

A Device Control allows you to take complete control over the ways your users can access and work with any given device type (you can allow them use of CDs and DVDs but block USB keys, say).

An Exploit Blocker shields your applications from malicious attempts to exploit their security flaws.

Smart Security 8 introduces Botnet Protection, a firewall option which detects malware by analyzing its network communications.

A new Smart mode for HIPS simplifies the process of detecting malicious processes.

An enhanced Exploit Blocker can now protect against Java exploits.

ESET SysRescue Live is an enhanced rescue environment, a Linux-based malware cleaner which can be booted from a CD, DVD or USB Flash drive (North America Only).

The previous "ESET Cybersecurity Training" has been replaced by ESET Cybersecurity Education (North America only), which "introduces a more interactive and game-like approach to training"."

Can I have two HIPS enabled at the same time (ESS and online armor)? Anyone have experience with that?

No, you cant, because ESS and online armor are both firewall having them will cause problems, you can have EAV and online armor, both will work (some cases they may present comflicts)

I'm asking about the HIPS. It's separated feature in both products

Will ESET provide update through version 7, or we must update it manually?
You can download v8 from ESET's website and install it over v7. This is basically what is done when you upgrade via gui.
@Petrovic is correct you can download and install it right over version 7 with both the Live or offline installer.It will keep your version 7 license and remain activated once the new version is installed.All that will be required is a restart on completion.

Whether overwrite the old version with the new version does not affect the performance eset itself or is it better to clean install (uninstall the old version, save the key and install new version)? whether the results are just as good :)

Well if you uninstall the older version and clean all traces you will have to reactivate the new version,hopefully saved your license,as well as reconfigure the new version.Since you are updating a software,in this case ESET, to a new version release it is best that you install it over the old version in place of complete uninstall.Of course this option might not apply to all programs
