[QUOTE="illumination, post: 717657"] I do not use Policy mode either, as I am on a shared system. It is the only system we have and maintain. Even if this was not a shared system, I would like you, use interactive mode for the same reasons. I was merely pointing out that interactive mode is not the strongest HIPS setting, and that you could seriously limit what is crawling around on your machine with it. As for our home system, I actually use Smart Mode for HIPS and supplement with Appguard Business, as it was easier to teach my significant other how to re-enable a service such as "cmd" when an operation that is legit requires it by opening Appguard, clicking "customize" and going to the "guarded apps" tab, and ticking it, hitting apply to enable it, then unticking and hitting apply to block it again as opposed to teaching her how to respond to HIPS alerts. ;) You are quite correct, Eset HIPS is very strong.
