Thanks for the link Swex. In the KB-article it says But what is the pre-defined rule set?? What will it allow and what not?

Sorry, my question was about the HIPS Automatic Mode, not the Firewall Automatic Mode.

OK, I'll try. What is the behaviour of "Automatic"? What rules are applied or what behaviors are prohibited or prompted?

Sorry toxinon12345, I did not completely understand what you mean. What I am trying to achieve is simply to reduce the number of popups by HIPS. When Windows ist installing updates I get dozens of popups because some temporay setup files are trying to perform actions. I won't help to create rules for them as their name (temporary!) is constantly changing. I am looking for something like "trust all files signed by microsoft" or "trust all files in this folder".

You mean the freezing that occurs when I run SPAZ? Yes, that also happens right after rebooting.

Hi Arakasi Thanks for your answer. I am quite sure it is not another program as it started at the day I installed Eset and it happens with many applications on two different PCs. I have one case though that allows me to reproduce the behavior 100%: HIPS is set to Interactive mode Start Steam From Steam start the game SPAZ (Space Pirates and Zombies) Whole System Freezes !! After trying and rebooting for quite some time I did this Set HIPS to Learning Mode Start Steam Start SPAZ --> There you go, the game starts AND Eset creates a rule for it !!!! From then on the game works all the time, even in interactive mode. So this really looks like ESET does not prompt me for the rule. There is no other rule associated to that application.

Hi I am using Eset SS7 since yesterday and already had dozens of "application-freezes". It seems like certain applications freeze in whatever they are doing - like if they were waiting for some Eset-dialog (HIPS, Firewall) to be answered, but there is no dialog from Eset on the screen. This happenend to me when: Installin Windows Updates Running Steam Running File Explorer ... Any ideas?

Hi I have returned to Eset after using Kaspersky for a year (Bloatware...). I am using Smartsecurity 7 and have some questions regarding HIPS (running in interactive mode): Is there a way to add rules for a group of files (e.g. a complete folder or a path with wildcards like c:\MyApp\All*.exe)? Is there a way to trust signed executables like e.g. "Trust all apps signed by Microsoft"? When Microsoft is installing updates you are prompted with tons of request from temporary installers and you have to confirm all the time (creating rules does not help because the temp-files keep changing). What is the best way to handle this? Thanks!
