[QUOTE="ichito, post: 911020, member: 15835"] OK...that's my answer: ad.1 Such apps like HIPS/BB/monitors are very important and useful for many users who want/need to know what is "played" in their system and applications. That allows users to manage all installed apps/processes by allowing them only needed actions and lowest as possible privileges. That is one of the most important rule in security. HIPS are not a disaster...disaster it's only lack of knowledge and involvment of people who have to use security apps but completely don't carre about it. They always think "Security is professionals' s job, it's not for users to decide what's good and bad." BTW - how big are your expiriances with such apps?;) ad.2 I'm home user - why should I install only one app despite there is no app among apps from "reputable company" what would satisfied me? Nobody is telling about "paranoia" but user should have some choice to use that technology that is undestandable and usable for them even if there is more than only one. And at the end - reputable company? Look at the AV vendors and perhaps you know that a lot of them have had in history "trust incidents"...which one is consiedered as reputable and which one not? ad.3 Shortly [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac-viruses-list-3668354/[/URL] ad.4 And similar :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/top-10-security-myths-debunked/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
