If I create these HIPS rules in NOD 32 Antivirus v11 , is there any added benefit in protecting against ransomwares???

Thanks!

Those rules improve protection from any malware. On the other hand, you won't be able to run legitimate scripts either.

If you change the "block" action to "ask" and enable "Notify user," you can. You will receive an alert and can then chose "Block" or "Allow."

This assumes one has the "smarts" to answer the alert properly.
