Hello.
I recently switched to NOD v7, and overall have been very happy since the transition. The only thing that has me somewhat worried is that I tend to have Process Explorer running at all times on my computer. Checking the verbose logs on NOD show that the HIPS is constantly blocking Process Explorer:
2/7/2014 8:51:01 PM C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Temp\procexp64.exe Get access to another application C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\egui.exe some access blocked Self-Defense: Protect ekrn and egui processes Terminate/suspend another application,Modify state of another application
2/7/2014 8:51:01 PM C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Temp\procexp64.exe Get access to another application C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\x86\ekrn.exe some access blocked Self-Defense: Protect ekrn and egui processes Terminate/suspend another application,Modify state of another application,Get access to another application
2/7/2014 8:51:01 PM C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Temp\procexp64.exe Get access to another application C:\Windows\System32\lsass.exe some access blocked Self-Defense: Do not allow modification of system processes Terminate/suspend another application,Modify state of another application
etc, etc. It keeps doing this.
I've turned off logging (because that would be absurd, at 10-20 messages a second), but I'm concerned that this is still happening in the background while I run process explorer. HIPS is a new thing to me, though, so I'm unsure of how to add Process Explorer to any exceptions, or what exceptions to add. As it is, I fear that my computer is constantly having this conflict happening in the background. If anyone could advise me as to what I ought to do, I'd be most appreciative.
