Replacing antivirus soft with a real IDS/IPS

[carlopmart <carlopmart () gmail com>]

Hi all,

 I am going to setup a testing lab with several windows XP virtual 
machines. My pourpose is to do some tests with HIDS/IPS software for 
windows and not to use antivirus software. Can you recommends me some 
HIDS software for windows ( free software if it is possible)?.

 And another question, will windows survive to several attacks 
(virus, trojans, etc) without using antivirus software ??? Have anyone 
tryied this??

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english.
