As quoted from NDSU's manager of desktop support services, Lincoln Bathie:

" We are not using HIPS at the moment. Early testing did not produce the
results we had expected. In fact I would go as far to say that, the Desktop
Support group is not impressed by the overall functionality of the McAfee
product."

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