• Adware to beware

  TexaskatwomanJuly 3, 2013

  Pros

  None that I can possible think of. There are plenty of in-depth reports online that are your's for a simple search to explain this problematic adware program

  Cons

  It opens your computer up to third parties, it doesn't allow changes it makes to be undone, it's a rotten way to jack your sys without you being aware. Avoid.

  Summary

  Don't dl this program, it's just adware.

• unwanted program

  cheesebrie.cJuly 1, 2013

  Pros

  ? Since Download.com is using lately deceptive download links (without direct download) installing additional malware with main program I am checking now every single download looking for alternative opinion and clean link. Checking Safety Monitor on Google I was able to find independent opinion. link is Below in Cons. Basically stay away.

• Best HIPS I tried

  RagwingMay 17, 2007

  Pros

  This HIPS is really awesome, I had ProcessGuard free edition before but I wanted some other program that blocked global hooks so I started to google for one and found this. <p>It protects against unknown processes and asks if a program/dll tries to hook you're keyboard or mouse. Runs fine on my computer and I use several other programs at once. <p>Remember to use it with an Anti-Virus.

  Cons

  None so far, maybe bit hard for beginners, but you'll learn it fast.

• One of HIPS out there with a lot of features for free

  Trojan cowApril 23, 2007

  Pros

  It has a lot of features compared to some commercial HIPS, process termination, global hook control, outbound network control, service control...

  Cons

  A beginner may have troubles with SSM if learning mode is unchecked as it asks the user a lot whether to run this program, to allow this program to hook on this DLL. May prevent some programs to update (I suggest turning it off before updating programs). Can slow down some versions of XP (Tested with my friend's XP vs mine).

• Excellent! One of the Best in Security!

  AeolisNovember 21, 2006

  Pros

  System Safety Monitor or SSM is one of the best security software on the market. As you already know it is a HIPS program. What you probably don't know is that it has a surprisingly proactive and fast support, what I think is a must for security applications. Its capabilities are improving day by day and it has a huge configuration abilities to suit users needs or preferences. What I think is very important too is that in fact SSM is a Multilanguage application covering Portuguese (Brazil), English, German, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and many others. It has a FREE (Really FREE) and PAID (very reasonable price) versions so money will not be an issue.

  Cons

  I think any software that goes to HIPS approach is a little hard to get used to, but don't let it frighten you. This software is very informative in its reports, so it should help you too. And it has also a Learning Mode to help finding and setting things up.

• Not my first pick.

  19monty64July 19, 2006

  Pros

  Read the help files and the tutorial and set it to learning mode, then started opening apps...

  Cons

  ...asked about some apps but not all ...prevented some updates ...checked logs(enabled) and nothing was there ...didn't get to find the problem as this slowed down my pc and used so much ram I just uninstalled! I find PrevX more user-friendly and ProcessGuard easier on system resources!!! No uninstaller, so that's two strikes!!!
