Are there any HIPS these days for Windows 10 PCs etc.
OS: Windows 10 Pro Version 2004
Are there any other HIPS like Comodo Internet Security and Tiny Firewall Pro (obsolete)?
By HIPS, I mean Host Intrusion Prevention System. There was a time that HIPS software was really blossom and Windows users can find as many apps like Comodo, Private Firewall, Outpost Firewall Pro, etc. as you like. Even anti-virus like ESET nod32 has implemented a great function of HIPS.
For that time, Tiny Firewall Pro might be the best and the most comprehensive pro-active security system for Windows XP 32bit. Through those years, I learned a lot (heaven a lot) about computers and networks. I know that HIPS might not be much popular by main stream media or favoured by profit hunting. It gives PC users a lot of control over app behaviour and let you to decide whether it shoud/not to have it, which is very useful for an active protection and mold your software to behave itself (cuz some apps can be very aggresive and have no concern of confidentiality; by confidentiality I mean there is a heaven lot of education on information security, privacies, data resources...)
Although to play with HIPS, it requires patience and a lot of understanding about PCs. But, for a time, HIPS software has been designed into very user-friendly using. It was easy enough for ordinary users to use and learn, especially if you are genuinely interested in PCs. But now, it seems become so unpopular even with software like Windows 10 which has hell a lot of background who knows what's going on intrusive behaviours. It seems HIPS can do a great deal these days on the end-user side to pro-actively take control over your own privacy or just be aware of your PC potentials. Due to the HIPS' complex nature, it might not have been as profitable and easy to use and support as other commercial and advertised apps. But how I wish I could find more up to date ones.
Maybe it is just me that I haven't had a chance to really deep search for one. Anti-virus seems also not as popular as it was before. Maybe it is because the online security environment has been vastly improved that you don't find any virus like the old days just for showing how clever it was designed. Even viruses these days are very commercial and must have financial profit to worth living. And anti-virus these days never kills unwanted ads and changes to your OS, but 90% of the time kills injectors, hexes, keygens, or cracks which may have taken end-user's side. If you understand, it feels HIPS is far more useful than any ordinary commercial antivirus.
Anyway, many thanks for your reading to the end. I appreciate your time and effort.
