Talking about Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS):
A HIPS shield will protect the computer from running unknown applications that can infiltrate by system and/or applications security holes.
The avast VRDB or the full scanning could create a database of executable files in the computer.
With a HIPS shield, any attempt of an unknown application or library (dll) to install in the computer could be monitored.
When the shield cannot detect the action as coming from is a safe application, it will display a warning message.
Alwil, can we expect this for avast 5 ?
