2009-04, 09-10 April (HIPS-Antispyware)

The test was made on 09-10 April 2009, using Windows XP Professional SP3 on a P4 3200 Mhz, 2048MB DDRAM.

All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates and they were tested using their full real-time monitoring capabilities.

The default settings of each program were not used, in order for each program to achieve its maximum detection rate.

All programs were updated on 09 April 2009.

Specific HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) tests were used from the website www.testmypcsecurity.com. The test shows the detection rate of the antispyware software against changes in the operating system and not their detection rate against spyware software. Nevertheless, the antispyware software with high HIPS detection have better chances to detect new spyware software.
