[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 480297"] There are some limitations to Kaspersky HIPS on 64 bit systems due to Microsoft Patch Guard. However, they have circumvented a few in the 2016 Home version products; not sure about KES 2016. You can read about it in the KIS or KES 2016 User's Manual. It's nothing really to fret over. Other vendors have the same problem because of Patch Guard. Their solution is not to monitor things that cannot be hooked on 64 bit systems - like service installations. So, bottom line is, Kaspersky is at same level, or better than, most any other security suite that includes HIPS. Actually, Kaspersky HIPS monitors many more items than typical HIPS - like COMODO's or ESET's; it is more on par with Defense Wall and Malware Defender. As you know, COMODO has Enhanced Protection Mode for 64 bit systems - but - technical infos are virtually non-existent. All we have is COMODO's assurances that it works as intended - which is not very reassuring. [/QUOTE]
