How Effective is Mamutu

I don't really see it as useful right now personally in my setup. Thats why I'm not using it currently despite being free for about a year and being light. Really like the app though.

 

IDK I monitored its CPU and RAM usage for a while. I actually couldn't justify taking it off of my setup haha it's just so light.

I use it to limit applications and I feel that that's enough to justify the minute amount of resources it uses.

 

The usage is indeed light no denying that. I just rather not have another security app I'm not finding a particular use for loading when windows starts up. Its good you found a use for it. Maybe I will change my mind later but right now, I'm good with what I have.

 

I found it too bothersome, especially with downloads and installs. I removed it.

Any kind of HIPS, BB will be kinda annoying

 

Not if you are used to it

 

Fixed it for you
Or it could have been Not if you have noobies pills

 

exactly.. way to go man you hold the future of so many aspirin employees

 

He does. Noobie is their number one consumer

 

very effective as mamutu

 

What is that J? You are very effective like mamutu?

 

I think he was referring to aspirin as being as effective..rofl

 

anyway is it mamutu needed this days?even when most antiviruses have proactive defense

 

Much lighter than an antivirus and it can be used in different wys.

 

It depends J on your security setup and also the anti-virus/anti-malware app(s) you use. Not all anti-virus/anti-malware apps have good proactive defense. It is also how you use mamutu, reference to Hungry Man's comment about using it in different ways.

 

thanks for the info

 

look at this

Mbam Pro did better than almost all competetors and it is not antivirus now i wonder how mamutu will do in this type of tests

 

I noticed your old favorite BluePoint is on there

 

yeap

 

It didn't do too bad

 

Mamutu is one of the best (if not the very best) second layer security aproach.

The other one would be ThreatFire, if it hadn't been let down by Symantec.

I have Mamutu along Avast and I can say: light, effective, updated (supported, in fact) daily.
Highly recommended.

 

The thing i like most about Mamutu is that it's contantly developed and there are updates everyday for it's modules. (Signature updates)

With signatures i don't mean it has a scanning engine but it does uses some kind of signature which i can't confirm right now since i'm on my other partition of Windows that has no security software LOL

 

Its essentially a whitelist that is being download everyday Noobie

 

Yes the whitelist is really great.

I've managed to configure my entire system with Mamutu, blocking suspicious activities in many many applications.

 

Hungry are you using this on x64 or x32?
