Untrusted applications are launched with limited rights to modification of critical system parameters, and only in the virtual zone that is specially allocated for them, thus separating them from trusted applications.

Most known applications are already within the pre-defined list. I have taken the liberty to make some changes and corrections.

Why do I need HIPS if I already have an anti-virus and firewall
Firewalls control your network activity, antivirus protects you only from known malicious modules. But their writers modify those modules so quickly, that anti-viruses are unable to detect them untill you will be infected with it. That is why you need a HIPS solution- it protects you from all types of malicious program (malware), known and unknown, with no signatures need, proactive way.
Do I need DefenseWall HIPS if I work under limited-user account
Yes, you do! It is not enough to work under limited-user account to be really protected from malware/virus threats. It won't protect you against passwords and game accounts hijack, ransomware, screen capturing, keyloggers, autorun registry keys modification, privilege escalation and keyboard/mouse input emulation attacks. Also, if you need to run some program under full-rights (administrator) user account, you will have to enter your administrator account password that could be intercepted by keyloggers and used by hackers to penetrate your defense.
