Version: AntiHook Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server 2.6 build 14
"One of the easier HIPS proggies!!!"
Pros: 1)Fully functional freeware... (unlike ProcessGuard) 2)Light footprint... (unlike PrevX) 3)Easy install... (unlike SystemSafetyMonitor) Install in learning-mode then install rule-editor from options menu and you're good to go. Allows you to kill processes as well as monitor apps. being shut down without your permission. After a day or two of learning-mode, put in normal-mode to block unauthorized actions. Blocked apps. can be enabled if you change your mind and find you need them. DURING LEARNING-MODE, RUN ALL PROGRAMS, GAMES, APPLICATIONS, BROWSERS, ETC. AntiHook will notify of changed apps. in real-time... (unlike HijackThis) Version 2.6 build 14 fixed most compatability issues and is listed as safe by Softpedia. There is a Pro version (3.0) for the tech-geeks that need more!!! Comes with it's own uninstaller, so give it a try!!!
Cons: This is listed as an antivirus, but it is a HIPS proggy that compliments your AV-scanner(not replace it) and FW, even XP firewall, as it monitors apps. in the network and the ones needing internet access.
