Best Free Intrusion Prevention and Detection Utility for Home Use (HIPS)

These days all users face a real risk of malicious programs secretly installing themselves on their computers. Anti virus and anti spyware products dramatically reduce the chance of infection but are not perfect. In particular they are prone to miss new malware products not yet included in their signature databases. They can also fail to detect malware programs that are cleverly disguised to avoid detection.

Interesting mistake you made there. The tape on the top is not VHS, it is Betacam, as is the one on the left. These tapes are the studio format based on Betamax.

But Betacam was the winning format, you were right there. The professional versions of VHS (M and MII) flunked in the professional market, where Beta won. Betacam is still being manufactured today, which is more than VHS is.

Maybe Sony didn't do so badly with Beta formats after all?
