[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 755517"] Emsisoft AM has a pure BB (ex-Mamutu), it was never an HIPS, Online Armor was Emsisoft HIPS. Intrinsically, HIPS doesn't differentiate between legit or malicious system changes, it just prompt, hence the shower of cryptic alerts that may confuse the user. Behavior Blocker however has rules and compare the system behavior to those rules then generate an alert (or not depending the user settings) if something seems suspicious. Heuristic is just code analysis , and alert the user or quarantine the file if its code is similar to a known malware. So put simply: Heuristic is code comparison, HIPS/BB are system modification monitoring. [/QUOTE]
