    At Download.com, there is an offer for a free 1 year license for Mamutu.

    'Mamutu Behavioural Blocker' from Austrian company Emsisoft is a security program aimed at monitoring programs/processes for malicious actions.
    This anti-malware/Intrusion Detection program blocks trojans, keyloggers, adware, spyware etc.
    Malicious or suspected files can either be killed immediately or put in quarantine for further analysis.
    It has a low resource consumption so it won't bog down your notebook.
    (To be honest, a minor complaint is that it takes a while befor the taskbar icon appears after bootup but that's it).

    It can be used besides your regular AV, it's not a replacement for it.

    The offer is for a 1 year license. When signing on, you'll have 30 days to install and activate it.
    As per Download.com; ' This free offer is good until Sunday, May 1, 11:59 p.m. PDT'.
    Download.com Mamutu free license link.

    (P.S. Why is it named Mamutu? It's a combination of Malware and the Maori word for 'Be ended/cut short'; Mutu link.
    Which makes perfect sense for a product from an Austrian company of course.;)).

    cheers.

    EDIT; As of now, 13:35 UTC (Netherlands)/ 6:35 PDT (US, California, LA), the offer is still valid for most of the day but there seems to be an issue with the licenses given away.
    The licenses cause a problem when installing, giving an error which says the license has already been used or is invalid.
    This issue seems to have occured yesterday, so if if you have applied for a free license and are experiencing difficulties, contact Emsisoft customer support for details.

    EDIT 2;You might want to follow the steps described in these WildersSecurity forum posts #56&57 to solve the license/registration issue link

    Thanks... looks good.

    PS., why does it make perfect sense for an 'austrian' company to have a maori word in one of it's products? I mean what do Maori' have got to do with anything 'austrian'? I thought Maori' were from New Zealand, which would make it perfect sense for an 'australian' company to have a maori word!! :D

    Thanks
    Installing now
    Just to confirm: I currently have Malwarebyte's and Avast 6 installed on my computer, will I need to uninstall them or can this program run with avast?

    ^It will run just fine alongside Avast antivirus.
    No need to uninstall/reinstall anything.
