I must confess, 15 h ago I had to google "What is my control panel?"o.k. my language problems. But then I found an interesting site with TUTs and problem-solving. Don't know why I didn't save that link, now it's gone. Have googled twice. but could not find that link.

I was immediately baffled, and a bit anxious, having just dumped all but the latest system restore points.<br /> For some reason, Mamutu came to mind, so I closed it and voila! Opened Mamutu again, then control panel, same result . . . no response (except for administrative tools, ie: shortcuts)</p> <p>Can someone with XPsp2 please check and see if this is just me? Thanks. I don't think this was happening until recently. Hmmm, they did have a real update yesterday? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-20020 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 05:20:29 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 20020@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yeah, I have no problems with this software ( touches head as a substitute for wood just in case I spoke oo soon, lol)and so far have found that it's another security measure that allows me to stopp programs that previously I never knew were communicating to the web.

Although I thankfully have not had the system hang, the program is always interupting for something. One particular interuption is when it flags internet explorer, but doesn't tell me which program is initiating the execution. To me, that is worse than useless, because it is interupting without giving the user enough information to make a decision. While it is true that there is information on running processes, Mamutu doesn't tell me which of these processes or programs is manipulating IE. Frequently I will see the Mamutu screen pop up, just as I am starting a full screen game and the screen leaves the desktop to the game. Then I worry about Mamutu freezing the system in the background because I have not provided it with the info it needs. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-20007 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:58:15 +0000 goodgotd 20007@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>seems ok here, avg, anvir, run all sorts of stuff, so far all the pop-ups seem relevant to possible questionable actions and infrequent.</p> <p>and I didn't look at the comments, will have to check, now regretting unchecking 'invisible updates'- but not much. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19955 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:15:23 +0000 graylox 19955@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>What a pity for you, I have no problems at all.<br /> It asks sometimes, perhaps 1 or 2 times a day what to do, and then all is silent and fine. Did you read the comments of ~Robert and Emsi? They gave some tips how and which boxes a beginner should check. Besides Mamutu, Kaspersky AV and firewall and spybott are doing their job parallel. It runs so smoothly, that I sometimes suspect, that Mamutu isn't running at all. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19950 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:44:20 +0000 MusicalRabbi2k 19950@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I agree. Before I downloaded it and installed it, I checked out the comments on the download page. I would say most if not all were positive towards the program. I also thought since Asquared is such a good program, something else from the same developers would also be good. Boy was I wrong!!!! It's a shame and I hope that any of the programs or games that we choose to use and install won't cause us the trouble that this one caused. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19747 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 02:24:55 +0000 copmom 19747@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Too bad we didn't have all these comments to read before having to waste time unraveling our machines! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19743 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:52:13 +0000 MusicalRabbi2k 19743@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I uninstalled it in the end. It caused way too many problems. From what I remember Threatfire was a similar type of program and I didn't have any issues with that so I reinstalled it. Maybe GAOTD will bring back Prevx or programs like that that actually worked </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19729 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:04:29 +0000 copmom 19729@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yes, I've had problems too! I've been running A-2 Squared free version by this same company so I thought this might be a good one. It totally took over things! Yes, I had to tell it what to exclude/allow, but it kept popping up brief boxes on everything from Outlook Express to Firefox and everything else as well as totally slowing down my machine. Then it locked my machine up and that's a first for me in quite awhile. Long story short, I've deleted it!</p> <p>On A-2 Squared I don't have that enabled on start up and I periodically run it as I wish, Mamutu insisted on running on start up and running in the background. This I don't like!</p> <p>Sooooooo it seems to have a few bugs to iron out since it is a new version! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19728 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:56:43 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 19728@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hmm... Wow you're having a lot of trouble. Try going into Mamutu and delete all the rules files from the Malware IDS screen. Then right click its icon in the notification area and click on Malware-IDS. That will disable the program. Install what you have to, and then reenable Mamutu. Next time, make sure that you tell the program to Exclude or Allow the program that you're trying to use. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2796#post-19718 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:27:21 +0000 MusicalRabbi2k 19718@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>ever since I installed Mamutu today, I can't Install anything because it says that it can't access the file. Firefox completely stopped working and and it has blocked Comodo Firewall Plus because it thinks there is some kind of malware. I tried to install both Firefox and Opera, Mamutu won't write the file to my hardrive.</p> <p>Anybody else having problems of this kind on their computer.</p> <p>MusicalRabbi2k </p>
