No you cannot use both. Google people. Its called overlapping security. Sure you maybe to use both together. When two programs fight over the same malware then most of the time both loose. Look at NIS. Its has Sonar which is a BB. No HIPS. CIS has HIPS and no BB.
edit: and to make things clear, although again its useless to use both imo, they won’t conflict as they don’t do the same things at all, okay, or at least in such a different way >>> time to go learn a few things may be? good luck ;D
They wont conflict running side by side yes. But under a malware attack is different. There are a lot of HIPS test you can download to try this out. System Safety Shutdown Simulator is one. Comodo’s CLT test is another.
Nothing wrong with running a hips with avasts behaviour blocker as you can see in my sig and i have no issues at all.
If your such the self confessed expert Dieselman with your huge 10 years of experience how come you have’nt learnt how to hide your email ? and you also dont supply any information about your own system setup in a signature for us all to admire and be wow’d.
My email…I could careless about it. As far as my set up…Goes like this:
Windows 7 64 bit
2Wire Gateway w/NAT
Avast 6.0.144 with High settings
Windows 7 Firewall W/Advanced Security
Emet 2.0 for hardening
OpenDNS
MBAM,HMP for on demand scanning
Firefox 4.0 w/ABP,Browser Protect,BP
A complete and up to date system image created by Paragon
BTW…Thats not my real email. Its a disposable account.
surprising i have to agree with DieselMan. you might not experience a conflict, but you will be much more prone to a conflict when operating 2 security software with a similar function since both are hooking the same areas of the system, and ther is a chance during a detection that problems could arise, such as BSOD’s sometimes.
just like when running more than 1 AV, u might not experience a problem right away, but eventually and under the right circumstances its much more possible.
you people are taking the same stance that oil drillers seem to take, you dont notice any immediate downsides so you continue as is thinking what your doing can never be a problem, then when a problem occurs under the right circumstance, you end up with serious problems.
its better to be aware of the potential problems instead of thinking its all fine and dandy
Thank you. You can run almost everything side by side with no conflicts. The problem is who will decide to fight the malware when under an attack? Thats what you need to think about people.
for sure, its completely ur choice, i never said change your setup so dont take it that way. im making sure that other people are aware of the potential problems and that they arent misguided into thinking that no problems can occur by doing this.
Dont fear being infected. Prepare for it. I could careless if I get infected. Hence the system image. Avast misses something then MBAM may catch it. If MBAM misses it then HMP may catch it. If all other tools fail I can use Kaspersky Rescue CD or just mount a new image.
Ok, that’s something completely different, then.
I can’t speak for others, but I can handle my setup.
But Dieselman tries to teach me things, I don’t need. ;D
asyn
Well, I for one hope there won’t be one included with Avast, like ever. People don’t seem to really grok the purpose of behaviour shield/autosandbox, let alone HIPS. Not useful for average user.
