Assuming Comodo hips is not broken for you and removes rules on it's own then it's the only hips alive. What i want to ask is why do you believe you need a hips? Hips is something old with too many alerts. What you should be looking is for a good behaviour blocker.

EDIT: @Jeff_T - Testing Group is right, forgot that.

The only standalone HIPS that remains on the market that is actively developed and supported is SpyShelter Premium. SpyShelter Premium is branded an anti-logger, but it is first and foremost a HIPS. It is the only game in town.

Comprehensive, standalone "advanced" HIPS like Malware Defender and Defensewall are long gone from the market.

if you put eset hips in the interactive mode, it is pretty powerful and configurable, it can even block process hollowing if you configure it right. So why not use it? the automatic mode is kind of rudimentary, but you don't have to stay in automatic mode.
Here's an idea for you: put ESET HIPS in training mode for a while, and then switch to interactive mode.

FYI: You might run into conflicts if you install two products that have a HIPS component.

Whatever HIPS you chose, if you decide to use training mode then don't forget to reboot in this mode.

Thanx. Glad to hear that. I like SS. Its free is very close to premium with respect to HIPS.

Ha, btw just found on their site: "As of 13 October, 2016 SpyShelter Free Anti-Keylogger will no longer be supported. We have lowered the prices of SpyShelter Premium and SpyShelter Firewall 1 year licenses to make upgrade process more affordable."

It is not recommended practice to combine two HIPS products together - even if you disable the HIPS module in one of the products. Conflicts that cause unexpected behaviors and malfunctions are possible.

Based upon your original post it appears that you were searching for an ESET replacement. It seemed as if you wanted to replace ESS 10 with a HIPS-only product.

if you run into conflicts with spyshelter, it is usually the keystroke hooks that are to blame.
It often helps to uninstall, and then reinstall but disable the keystroke hooks component right away, during installation process. This will not affect the core HIPS protection, only certain antikeylogger protections and keystroke encryption.

spyshelter does function as an anti-executable.

the downside of spyshelter (besides the price) is that it is not so effective against ransomware...

after installing COMODO, you can uninstall all its other components (you do it with the regular Windows uninstall programs feature, you will see an option for change/uninstall, and you use "change"). You can keep only the firewall. That is the part that has the HIPS. If they pushed Chromodo browser and geek buddy on you, they can be uninstalled separately. You will see them listed as separate programs.
Then you can go into COMODO settings, and disable everything except HIPS.

Its better to uncheck AV, GeekBuddy, Chromodo etc during install. There's such option.

just an idea: try ReHIPS, you might be very happy with it. It gives you whitelisting and HIPS, and if you don't want to use the isolation, you don't have to. The HIPS is not as complex as that of COMODO, but maybe that is good.
ReHIPS should be compatible with ESET. It is designed to work in combo with an AV suite, if the user so wishes.

correct, it is in private beta, but you can get in, by posting a request on this thread
How to get beta v2.2?
you will get a private message with a link to download.
It is very stable, it doesn't suffer from the bugs you would expect from a beta release. People like it.
If you don't use isolation, you won't really feel that it is beta.
