ESET Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors system activity and uses a pre-defined set of rules to recognize suspicious system behavior. When this type of activity is identified, the HIPS self-defense mechanism stops the offending program or process from carrying out a potentially harmful activity. Changes to the Enable HIPS and Enable Self-Defense settings to take effect after the Windows operating system is restarted.
