• Bugs and conflicts abound

  dfichtnerJanuary 7, 2008

  Pros

  It's free. Has at least some keylogger protection.

  Cons

  I don't know what the problem is, but I had to reboot 3 times before I was able to use my computer normally after installing this product. For the moment, things seem OK, and I will write this and try another reboot. It had some kind of conflict with Internet Explorer 7. I got the strangest message from IE7 telling me that Microsoft has decided to end a process or some sort. The message came from IE7, not Antihook, but was caused after installation and reboot. The other two reboots seem to hang up after AVAST anti-virus loaded, and before my Zonealarm application began. This third time seem OK. We'll see after one more reboot, but any problems, and this is coming off.

• Difficult to use - Mainly for experts, However is a free full featured HIPS!

  D_MenaceOctober 22, 2006

  Pros

  Full featured free version - not limited at all protects against... everything... which is a bit of a problem see below <p> <p>Easily beats free HIPS rivals like System Safety Monitor and Winpatrol - This program protects against code injection, rootkits etc, etc, etc, etc x 10 ^ 3. Look on their website at infoprocess.com.au <p> <p>But I still think there is room for improvements - adding network IPS capability, monitoring more windows areas, buffer overflows perhaps? <p> <p>It's an Australian, Sydney-based company, not based in India or some other unfamiliar country... Go Aussie! <p> <p>There are also other benefits such as that it uses a Kernal level driver etc already mentioned on this page, however I have just a slight degree of concern about the stability of my system with this running... if it crashes my computer may be impossible to boot... <p> <p>So 4 STARS - top marks for functionality and high level of security but minus one for usability.

  Cons

  GUI needs more work - the rules editor is hard to use and I'm struggling to configure this program - there literally is just an icon in the system tray...thats it! E.G. How can I set up a program for Antihook to protect? I want more eye candy... I guess its aimed at those who want solid security without the bloated graphics. But still it needs a better GUI. <p> <p>In learning mode, no popups, easy going. <p>In normal mode, popups galore! Is it ever going to be possible for this thing to work silently with minimum false positives? I am not so sure... <p> <p>To answer this question we'll have to wait for Version 3.0 which is still going to be free contray to one of the other reviews.

• One of the easier HIPS proggies!!!

  19monty64September 23, 2006

  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.

• Good Host Intrusion Prevention system

  Pros

  Good first line of defense against attacks. Works fine for me, for over a year. I use FireFox for a browser and Thunderbird for mail; never have I had a conflict. Also,running TuneUp utilities and CCleaner for house cleaning and tidying up loose gargage.

  Cons

• Does an Okay job.

  blanksystemFebruary 26, 2006

  Pros

  Its a root level .exe and .dll monitor. It prevents code injection and prompts you everytime a new .exe / .dll wishes to load. <p>I personnally use it because I have found no HIPS freeware replacement.

  Cons

  It is a name based prevention program. For example it leaks if you use the same name for two different programs / .dll's. To prove this permit IE to load, then take another program, (leaktest for example) and name it iexplorer.exe and it will allow it to load.

• Be aware of this product. Problems right away.

  jkrasnooDecember 5, 2005

  Pros

  None. I couldn't use the product.

  Cons

  Right upon install I had problems. If your system is not a clean install do not download and install this product. I had errors popping up one after the other. AntiHook prevented me from opening my "Add and Remove Programs" in the controll panel as well as throwing memory access errors. I shut the program down from the task bar and the errors stopped. I then uninstalled the program as I didn't feel safe with it.
