Re: HIPS

[Patrick Ouellette <ouellep () ALGONQUINCOLLEGE COM>]

I've personally found that both McAffee and Norton don't update/push fast enough to catch everything.
And McAfee has always been something of a memory hog, as are a great many of the HIPS products.

However, we've tested most of the major products for use in our environment (academic + corporate mixed in Educational 
Institution) and adopted ESET's Smart Security suite 4.
Used to use Panda Internet Security, but ESET's even better for low-impact on host.

Anyone finding HIPS truly useful in helping reduce malware infections?
Any tips/strategies?  Things to watch out for?  How are you managing
false positives?
