Also as a reference this:
Several antivirus software solutions incorporate a
Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) or similar behavioral monitoring technology, often with customizable settings for advanced users.
Top antivirus programs that include HIPS features are:
- ESET NOD32 Antivirus/ESET Smart Security Premium: ESET is well-known for its HIPS, which uses advanced behavioral analysis and offers extensive customization options for experienced users, including rule creation and deep behavioral inspection settings.
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus/Internet Security: Kaspersky products feature a HIPS that effectively filters application activity, categorizing programs into different trust groups (Trusted, Low Restricted, High Restricted, Untrusted) and allowing users to manage access rules in either automatic or interactive modes.
- Comodo Antivirus/Internet Security: Comodo offers a robust HIPS feature called "Defense+" which, when used with the antivirus, provides strong protection. It includes a "Paranoid Mode" for the highest security level, suitable for advanced users who want complete control over system activity and alerts.
- Bitdefender Total Security: Bitdefender incorporates behavioral monitoring and multi-layered ransomware protection, which functions similarly to HIPS by detecting and blocking zero-day threats based on their actions. It offers a robust firewall and network threat prevention capabilities.
- Norton 360: Norton includes an "intrusion prevention" system and a "Smart Firewall" that monitors applications and network traffic, allowing users to define custom rules for advanced control.
