Review by Frederick Barton (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 13 Jun 2017

The Internet just isn't a safe place, but there are various security solutions out there. ReHIPS brings a fairly fresh approach to the problem. It relies on existing measures, but it kicks everything into overdrive. If something is not explicitly blocked and it isn't important, it will be blocked immediately, so your system will be protected against malware and other threats. Though you can't exactly rely solely on ReHIPS, the software does offer an extra layer of security, which is always useful.

The software is free to try, without any significant restrictions. Its setup package is quite small and installing its core components takes only a few seconds. The application works on all modern Windows versions and it supports both 32 and 64-bit variants. Also, there are no special requirements you have to meet and you don't need powerful hardware.

Installing ReHIPS and letting it run in the background is sufficient to secure your system. When you launch the software for the first time, it will automatically establish a wide range of rules, which may take a few minutes to complete. ReHIPS will prevent applications from running all by itself, so you don't need to interact with it too much.

As previously mentioned, ReHIPS relies on security measures that already existing in the operating system, but it makes them more strict. The software lets you increase and decrease its severity. You can choose from different settings, from disabled to expert.

You can view lists of allowed, isolated or blocked programs on a separate window. What's more, the program lets you add your own rules to the list or tweak existing ones. Also, you can go to an advanced mode, if you wish to see the vendors, command lines and users that are considered to be trusted.

You can never have enough security measures on your computer, which is why ReHIPS is something you should definitely try.

Pros

The software automatically blocks programs, command lines and other elements on your computer, to prevent malware infections. It lets you increase or decrease the severity of its rules.

Cons

There are no serious issues to address.
