For those new to the term HIPS, it is a system that alerts users about changes to the system. For you to get an idea of how it works, I lay it down in the following steps:
VoodooShield review
The tool is designed to be a better alternative to the Microsoft Windows User Account Control (UAC) that notifies you when changes are going to be made to your computer. Although it is compatible with UAC, VoodooShield works best with UAC disabled, and on computers whose user accounts run as administrator. During installation, VoodooShield will disable UAC so it can run in an optimal state. Once turned on, the program will protect your status quo and not allow anything new to run. If something new does attempt to run, you will be notified and your permission will be sought to allow it or not.
Free anti-executable Host Intrusion Prevention System security software
When installed, the lightweight application resides as an icon in the system tray.
There, upon right-clicking the icon, you get 3 modes namely, Two points are to be noted. Firstly, the free edition doesn’t allow changes in the program’s advanced options – so you just cannot manage directories you want to be whitelisted. Secondly, the program automatically whitelists everything in the Windows folder. This, gives Voodoo shield a minus because, even if the malware file resides in your Windows folder, it will be allowed to run since VoodooShield defines that folder as whitelisted, automatically. https://youtu.be/rmk5bKN0CtA VoodooShield does require a bit of tweaking, but the developers of the application promise to make the changes ready shortly.
