Mamutu Replacement

im trying to get people opinions about what would be similar to Mamutu and equally lightweight OTHER than threatfire?

 

free: Running UAC with Norton UAC tool
paid: PrevX
other free option: When Avira V9 beta with proactive comes out of beta
future option: Avast V5

 

Norton 2010 possibly as well? I've yet to go into further "investigation" () since the downloader didn't work before today, but heard from other sources it seems it indeed has implemented cloud-technology being used by SONAR and probably also Advanced Heuristics. I suppose the new advanced option for SONAR has something to do with it, being set to Automatic by default.

 

im currently using Avast, but do u know wer i can get more info on v5 since u say it seems to have some sort of proactive security measures?

im mainly looking for a stand-alone app, and the idea of Symantec and a cloud-security system gives me a shiver...

 

Avast V5 was scheduled last Q of 2008, now rumours go it will be launched last quarter of 2009.\ It should contain some sort of proactive module like the one Avira is beta testing now.

 

I also agree that Prevx is a good choice.

 

hmm ok, do u know of any link with any more specific info, or has no info really been released about it?

 

Another option would be Micropoint:

If it runs great and alongside other software and doesn't slow surfing-speeds it might actually be very interesting. Also depends on its operation (how quiet it's).
