If you select Ask as the default action, ESET NOD32 Antivirus will display a dialog window every time an operation is
run. You can choose to Deny or Allow the operation. If you do not choose an action, an action will be selected based
on the pre-defined rules.
The Allow access to another application dialog window allows you to create a rule based on any new action that
HIPS detects and then define the conditions under which to allow or deny that action. Click Show Options to define
the exact parameters for your new rule. Rules created this way are considered equal to rules created manually, so a rule
created from a dialog window can be less specific than the rule that triggered that dialog window. This means that after
creating such a rule, the same operation can trigger another dialog window if the parameters that your previous rule
set do not apply to the situation.
The Temporarily remember this action for this process option causes the action (Allow / Deny) to be used until a
change of rules or filtering mode, a HIPS module update or a system restart. After any of these three actions,
temporary rules will be deleted.
