    I noticed that Mamutu is FREE today and that usually means the program ain't so good, right?

    http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/

    Worth downloading and installing? Any good? Does it use a lot of CPU and access the hard drive constantly?

    It's a great program. I'd run it with something like either Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast, Avira, MBAM on-demand or pro.

    If your AV already has a behaviour blocker, such as Kaspersky's, you wouldn't need this as well.

    Regarding CPU, after a few days of use and launching programs it becomes very light. Users who only watch it after a day or two, 'say, sick of this far too heavy', are giving up excellent security based on being impatient. It's analysing each program you're launching, seeing how it interacts with your system, checking the connections it's making etc.

    You could run it on its own, have say hitman pro on-demand, or emsisoft's own free on-demand program, and you're be fine against nearly everything you'll come across.

    Also, free doesn't mean junk, while that applies to a lot of programs found on download.com or softpedia etc, it sure doesn't apply to programs like MSE, Avast, Hitman Pro, Avira, MBAM, SuperAntiSpyware, Sandboxie, Online Armor, Comodo etc etc.

    I am not a comodo fan so I would be happy to hear what you have to say about that.
    I have test it against others and yes it's not a full HIPS so it does miss a few but then again it does not deluge you with popups when you install something...like HIPS would.
    However it does pickup stuff that AV might miss due to immature of current AV sig update.

    Just finishing setting it all up. I'll do 15-20 of the same malware and see if they run/ are able to infect my system.

    last time I tried... I think it either block ads/cookies... It's disabled by default or the feature is removed... I guess.

    Would Mamuru run fine with Outpost Security Suite + Zemana anti-logger ?
    Any conflict, or simply overkill?

    TIA!

    Not sure how effective it's been for me. I use it because
    a) It was free
    b) It's insanely light
    c) I can see it potentially being very very useful for system hardening and actually less so as a BB (at least for my setup, it works great as a BB too =p)
