[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1084160, member: 99014"] You are right here, I have to agree. I also have to add that Eset HIPS capabilities are far from broad and whilst yes, additional protection could be implemented, this protection would hardly be sufficient. A lot will remain uncovered. However, this all applies to scripts (in HIPS powershell, CMD, consolehost, wscript and cscript could be prevented from launching processes and in firewall they can be disconnected), maldocs (rule to prevent MS office from launching child processes could be created in Eset HIPS and it will cover 100% of this vector), Java malware (javaw.exe could be blocked in firewall) and others. We don’t know how many home users come across such malware. This test (much like one that I did about a year ago) shouldn’t be used as an indicative of a product’s effectiveness, it should be observed out of curiosity. It would’ve been better if you downloaded the file (for example from OneDrive) so we can see LiveGuard emulation. Yes, malicious file can be on external storage, but: [LIST] [*]To go on external storage, it will most probably be downloaded or saved through emails and may be emulated by Eset (or another product). [*]It may be a worm such as Dinihou, but you will not operate with external storage every hour, so the threat will be covered by signatures by the time you plug external media in. [*]It is possible for admins under certain conditions to disable external media usage. [/LIST] So for me, it would be better to use downloads and ensure LiveGuard (which is so-so on executables) is in use — it is there for a reason. If in this case the product still fails, shame on them. [/QUOTE]
