Will AVAST introduce HIPS v7?
Is it necessary for an antivirus to have HIPS??
Probably not as they have gone the behavioral monitor route, if you want a hips most firewalls now include them or you can get winpatrol.
i tried winpatrol its not my taste....
Avast went with a BB cause its more user friendly.
The Avast firewall is still very new which makes it rather weak. If your current OS is Windows 7 then your all set with Windows Firewall.

What does the age of the firewall have to do with it's strength or lack thereof What makes the Windows firewall stronger
