Any info on how new HIPS sensitivity settings affect the HIPS engine? Are they rather easily separated/defined or it's really hard to explain it?
I'd like to know more so I'd know what level to use and all that...
-
And which system modifications exactly does it monitor for ?

I also hope malicious behavior works if you uncheck unauthorized modifications checkbox. I remember avast! 5 having a bug where first one became entirely inactive if you've unchecked the second one...
I prefer this one with max sensitivity, but only with first option enabled that only monitors actual malware behavior and not potentially malicious actions that are usually mostly legit.

Hi guys:)
MartinZ prommised me that one of the enigneers will provide more details about the HIPS soon.

So far I am quite confused with this entire HIPS functionality in avast.It looks like a revived behaviour shield to me.I threw some malware at it just for fun's sake even though it's still a beta.I only saw a very few HIPS alert.I know its just a beta and they will get it working in the final.
It would be interesting to read the explaination of how this HIPS works? I don't see any advanced options for it.It monitors actual malware behaviour not suspicious ones??
-
Can you test it using such settings? I think this makes the most sense as a default widely used option. I want it to only react to malware behavior and not to every suspicious thing.
-
OK tested with beta 1 with default settings.Now I am seeing alerts.So it's not exactly a passive HIPS.It's just the old behaviour shield revisited.The only difference is around this time,it works.
ReZ,the new beta seems to be doing fine with the HIPS in default settings.

I'm interested in the above configuration. I want it to only trigger itself when malware like behavior is encountered, not on every suspicious thing...
