System Safety Monitor (SSM) belongs to a class of security programs known as "HIPS" (Host-based Intrusion Security Prevention). SSM is arguably THE very best HIPS for use on personal computer or home office. SSM needs no signature updates, and is effective against zero-day attacks, viruses, rootkits and other trojans, worms, etc. SSM will also protect any or all of your processes against being shutdown or counterfeited by malware. The only caveat in using SSM is that you, the user, must answer pop-ups whenever SSM encounters any process that is unknown to it, or is attempting an action which SSM considers is potentially hostile, and/or you have set a rule that requires SSM to ask your permission before running that particular process. In other words, SSM is a superb TOOL for protecting your computer, but it most assuredly is not your nanny. SIDE NOTE- If you happen to PREFER a "nanny-type" HIPS, try PREVX1 and set it to "abc" mode.
