Tf vs Mamutu : Which One Is More To Trust ?

hi all

anyone try them both? which one is better? which one is more effective in the real malware world?
i found adding new rules to TF is very effective and much easy ...didnt see such option in mamutu .

any impression is welcome

 

How about neither? TF screws up my keyboard and Mamutu will not work with Ad Muncher.

 

Well, I guess it all depend on configuration, like many Security applications. My system did not like TF at all. I had slow down, freezes and even BSOD. Reinstall clean image and the problem was gone.
Now I have Mamutu installed since two months and so far no problem. Which one is better, I don't know...

 

yes mamutu look cool , but u cant set no new rules lets says for any process try to open network connection with is more like to most Trojans or whatever bad malware out there

 

Can't confirm that, MM work on my Vista PC flawless with AM.

 

If I were you, I´d use Faronics AE, coupled with FD-ISR and Virtualized Linux, and skip all the other gimmicks. No need HIPS or BB.


Just my 2c.

 

Threatfire for me, threatfire always; unless Symantec pulls the plug.


Peace.

 

AE last version conflict with SB....this issue well discussed in here

 

Mamutu never failed me when i used to use it. VERY responsive and quick Behavior Blocker with a trigger finger for the slightest of disturbances. it should keep you nice and protected.

 

You have FD-ISR and Eaz-Fix, that´s the big sandboxie and the little sandboxies already, respectively.

 

Although Mamutu is more powerful and tweakable, But TF has a larger community backing it. Hence less pop-ups for safe programs and potentially better rogue file classification.

My rule, for Mom+Dad+Wife+Kids = TF.
For me = Mamutu.

 

Is that y TF has been quaratining all those safe/system files recently? I can't trust TF on my system anymore, I used to always use TF until these probs happened, as well as the bugs it gave me.

 

Personally, I will go with DriveSentry (HIPS+Antivirus).
It's definitely better than ThreatFire, and best of all it's free!

AE is recommended for children and for those in their dotage. For others, however, using an execution blocker -- which does little more than alerting you if you execute an unknown application -- is rather inane.

You double-click something, and your exec blocker says "Hey, you just double-clicked something." Wow, thank you! Great information...

 

i heard that anti-executable is very strong againts rootkits and spywares never use it but for what i heard they said it is well equip

 

+1 to that, drivesentry is a great program (minus a few bugs) but its still my prefered add-on to my normal AV. but DriveSentry isnt really a HIPS + AV, its more of a Behavior Blocker + AV because it doesnt alert to every little action done like a HIPS does, but instead to malicious behavior that it detects.

 

Hmmm. I guess the entire LAPD is a kindergarten of little children with firearms and who can watch porn.

 

I think this is not too far from the truth but anyway even if such info is accurate,should not be given away.

 

lol , i got some machine in here ... eaz fix or fdisr wont protect u from malware , not always , in some way they did , i have more than 1 partition ... more than 1 HD , so nor fdisr or eaz fix can hundle any leak to other drive partitions

 

What about PrevX Edge? http://www.prevx.com/prevxedge.asp

 

this thread is about TF vs MAMUTU not prevax mate

so hope to stick to the topic

 

Mamutu if you don't mind paying. Threatfire if you do.

 

Are you running AM in Vista with IE7? I have had the same issue with A-squared and Mamutu and AM for over a year now but I am using it with IE7.

 

That´s why I say, use them with AE + virtualized linux if you insist on using the Windows environment. I´m saying this because you haven´t dip your toes in HIPS or BB, I suggest a better solution ( one for the little children, sadly one member had mentioned. I guess HIPS and BB are nannies then ).

By the way, look in the Sandboxie forums, there are mentions of leaks as well.

I see people here like to test the products using their collected samples, try that with AE on, and I´m sure it will bore you to death. The point is, I think most people here are advanced users, common sense play a big part in security. If you really really want to let loose, virtualization is the key ( again if you insist on using the Windows environment, that is ).

Listen to Steve Gibson´s podcast, not the one titled Sandboxie, the one after it I think, where he rephrased his opinion on the environment with Sandboxie and malware.

 

AE is a good product no doubt , but i interesting on ppl impression on theTF or mamutu
