A very fearsome behavior blocker, with its protection abilities paralleled only by ThreatFire IMHO. Resource usage should be a non-issue. The last time I tried it, FPs tend to run a wee bit on the high side on foreign systems, while Chinese people who use it report only a few.

Yes, and very.
Would you recommend it?

It's currently in beta. After 90 days the trial will automatically renew itself. No known price for a final release, but given the currency conversion rate y'all Yankees should be able to get it for peanuts.

No.
MP is an antivirus, since it attempts to identify viruses and block only those. The technologies it uses (behavior blocking) isn't quite the same as a standard antivirus scanner, but it also works towards the same purpose, and hence it's not entirely accurate to call MP an antivirus product.
As for why I don't agree, MP is an "intelligent" behavior blocker, while EQ is a "dumb" HIPS that does not try to distinguish good from bad, only popping up an alert whenever one of its user-defined rules is triggered and leaving the decision up to the user. It's also not Rising, or any standard antivirus product. For one, it lacks an on-demand scanner. Secondly, while it does maintain a list of know malware, its on-access scanning engine is relatively unsophisticated, and the backbone of its protection comes from behavior blocking.

It's always possible for an arbitrary program A to conflict with another arbitrary program B. However, I've seen many users use it alongside a standard AV product (due to MP's lack of on-demand scanning, according to the devs this feature will be incorporated soon) with no major issues.

Absolute rubbish. EQSecure contains no behavioral blocking features; it's a "dumb" HIPS thorough and thorough. The latest beta version does come with a sandbox function, though. As for MP, it's an intelligent behavior blocker, like TF and AntiBot.

Personally, I have always ignored Matousec test data. And when it comes to the behavior blocker product class, Matousec's test methodologies are even more irrelevent than usual.
As for ease of use, MP is more or less similar to TF, in the sense that both require little to no user setup or intervention once installed.

it is hard to say.but it is really good software.antivirus or antimalware or anything,i only can say like the official sayings:virus malware,trojan,adware and so on. these all are threats for our system..
the official site for foreign users is so simple, what we can do is just wait till the changes and the good software..!
Think I'm gonna give this a spin today but, does anyone know if it will run on Vista Home Pre SP1?
