Heard of Mamutu? It’s another security software by a-squared that doesn’t rely on signature to detect a malware. Mamutu monitors all active programs in real time for dangerous behavior (Behavior Blocking) and can detect new unknown Trojans, Worms, Viruses and other damaging programs (Zero-Day dangers) without daily updates. Mamutu is small but very powerful. It saves resources and does not slow the PC down. Mamutu is actually a part of a-squared Anti-Malware, but it exist as a separate product so that you can use it simultaneously with other antivirus of your choice such as NOD32, Kaspersky, Avira and etc.

You can say that Mamutu is an alternative to ThreatFire except that it cost money ($27 per year). Thanks to GIZMO again, they’ve managed to seal a deal with a-squared to provide their readers a free 12 month license for their “Mamutu” behavior blocker. This exclusive offer expires on 11.59 PM USA PST, Monday August 24, 2009, so go grab it while you can.

Sorry 64-bit Windows users, Mamutu runs only on 32-bit of Windows XP, 2003/2008 Server and Vista. There are 2 processes for Mamutu which is a2service.exe taking up 9.692MB and mamutu.exe taking up 20.688MB. This is the first time I got to test Mamutu and honestly I was a little disappointed with the results.
Mamutu claims to detect injection of code into other programs, invisible installations of software and creation of Autostart entries BUT it didn’t warn me when I tried infecting my test computer with a trojan. The trojan that I used for testing has all 3 behaviors above but no idea why it did not block or warn me about it. I’ve also tried running a very destructive virus called Almanahe/JambanMu, it managed to detect “Invisible installations of software” and pops up the same warning over and over again for a few times even though I select “Block behavior”. When the warning popups has stopped, I was shocked to find that the computer has been successfully infected by the virus because task manager, regedit, cmd has been disabled and the computer was running very slowly. As for Brontok virus, it managed to block all suspicious behavior. In my opinion, I personally think that ThreatFire works better than Mamutu.

Hi J76,
It is a false positive by ESET. I have already discussed this matter with ESET programmers. Actually mchInjDrv.sys is a madCodeHook Injection Driver. madCodeHook is used to hook code (mostly APIs) in all 32 bit Windows operating systems from Windows 95 to Windows Vista. It is basically used to check the process, in order to find out whether it is legit or malicious.
But why it is detected as Potentially Unsafe Application? Unfortunately madCodeHook has been misused by malware in the past, as it was free for everyone. But now there is no non-commercial edition of madCodeHook available, anymore.
So don’t worry. Just ignore the file and use it. You can also have words with ESET Guys on this.
Thanks!!!!
Does it work on Windows 7?
Great freebie thanks.
Just 1 question. After installing this program. Nod32 popped up an alert box saying potential threat found.
win32/monitor.PCAgent
What is that some spyware in the program itself?

Okay, after finishing the payment process there is a link shown to cancel the subscription.
Betaxtreme
If you’ve selected “Cash” as your payment method, then you’ll be requested to renew after 12 months but you can choose not to pay ;)
be tuned “This is a yearly subscription product. After 12 month(s), a yearly fee of €20.00 is due starting with the next billing cycle.”
Great but it seems after one year there is a autorenewal.
At the payment screen it shows this info:
” This is a yearly subscription product. After 12 month(s), a yearly fee of €20.00 is due starting with the next billing cycle.”
