Honestly: That kind of "protection" is completely useless. Essentially because it will show an alert on EVERY FILE the Internet Explorer tries to start - no matter if it's dangerous or not.
Whitelisting is useless as well. Basically because there are still more legit files out there than malicious ones. So signature databases for legit files would be huge. And we don't talk about "twice as big" larger but "100.000 times as big".
Some security companys even make it worse:
They whitelist everything which has a valid certificate. Bad news for them: Almost all rogue anti spyware has valid certificates nowadays.
Forget it. HIPS are useless. Behaviour blocking is the future.
There is a company out there that essentially does nothing else than trying to create a white list that is complete as possible. It's called Bit9. Upload a downloaded file of your choice there. Chances are high they don't know it allthough they collect and catalogue files for years now. That will show you how useless white listing really is. And remember those guys got a 3+ years head start.
I think whitelisting may be possible, but you'd have to "trickle" in whitelisted apps on 24/7 basis. This would of course require an always on internet connection.
I just reviewed Threatfire BTW and it performed perfectly. Threatfire blocked malicious binaries while letting legit ones go. Very cool.
ive been infected by a virus but i dnt know if its a virus ex. when im searching the web like youtube it automatically close but the prog is still running i opened my task manager but it wasnt their, and i tried to restart it and in the ending program "should not see me" appears can you help me to delete this virus plsssss?

At first, a little bit. Every HIPS application comes with a whitelist of safe applications so your popups are minimal.

By the way:
