[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 825041, member: 32260"] As I already mentioned, my experience with personal computers is very long (from the year 1984), so I may be slightly conservative about "Behavior Blockers". I can see a kind of evolution: simple HIPS ---> Behavior Blockers ----> Advanced Heuristics (behavior-based detections) Somewhere before the end, BBs have vanished from the view (except a few AV vendors) and it is very hard to find something useful about BBs. In fact, this term is used mostly on MT or Wilderssecurity forums, and in the AV-Comparatives reports. MRG Effitas uses the term "Behavior Control" which probably includes HIPS and BBs. Also the term 'behavior block' is usually used as the cause of the general behavior blocking, and not as the action of "Behavior Blocker" module. Generally, it is sometimes hard to understand what the author had in mind. :giggle: [/QUOTE]
