VoodooShield Pro Review and Giveaway

[tarekma7]

Traditional blacklist antivirus software can no longer keep up with the 200,000+ new viruses and malware created daily, so VoodooShield locks your computer and blocks all new, non-whitelisted executable code (including viruses and malware), while your computer is running a web app (browser, email, etc.). Traditional antivirus is great, but your computer should be locked when it is at risk.

VoodooShield is now free for non-commercial home use and is pre-configured with optimal settings which will work great for the majority of home users. The installer and software are the same. VoodooShield professional  allow the user to adjust all the settings and tweaks.

How is Voodooshield different from all other apps?

To answer this question we need to understand the concept of the program:

VoodooShield uses a proprietary proactive whitelist snapshot approach to virus and malware protection. VoodooShield is a patented toggling Desktop Shield Gadget / Computer Lock that automatically toggles to ON and locks your computer when you start a web app. There is never a good reason to let new, non-whitelisted executable code run while a web app is running.

It is suitable for both Home and Business users:

Since most viruses and malware attack through web browsers and email attachments, VoodooShield simply locks your computer when you are browsing the web or checking email. It also protects the user space when not at risk. When used properly, VoodooShield will effectively block all browser and email based viruses and malware. VoodooShield does not remove existing viruses.

VoodooShield’s three layers of protection include an application whitelisting lock, a machine learning / Ai decision engine and a multi-engine blacklist scan. The application whitelisting lock automatically toggles to ON when the computer is at risk to lock your computer and keep you safe while browsing the web or checking email.

While the machine learning, Ai and multi-engine blacklist scanners automatically scan new and unknown executable files to ensure that malware is not accidentally allowed by the end user.

Review:



How it is working:

OFF Mode (Unlocked): 



Your computer is unlocked, and VoodooShield is learning which programs to allow so it will not block them once VoodooShield locks your computer. You can also change to this mode if you need to install or allow additional software. Your computer is NOT protected in this mode.

ON Mode (Locked): 



Your computer is locked and you are protected. When VoodooShield automatically toggles to ON Mode, it takes a snapshot of the currently running software, and automatically allows everything in this snapshot. VoodooShield also automatically allows currently installed software and specific critical Windows system files. Any software that was not allowed when VoodooShield was OFF is blocked.

Voodooshield will toggle between on and off, depending on whether you are at risk or not

keep in mind:

There is only one thing to keep in mind when using VoodooShield:  If VoodooShield blocks something that you would like to run, then allow it after it is automatically scanned. Otherwise, if VoodooShield blocks something out of the blue, then just ignore it and assume it was a virus or malware.

Remember that: VoodooShield will protect your computer from getting viruses and malware but if your computer has a virus, VoodooShield will not remove it.

VoodooShield Modes:

Disable / Install Mode: 
used when you are installing new software. It is similar to the training mode except new items are not added to the whitelist

Training: 
used when you initially install VoodooShield, or when you are installing or running new software

AutoPilot / Antivirus mode: 
VoodooShield will remain in SCAN mode. It is a great choice for users who want the power and performance of application whitelisting

Smart Mode (Default): 
VoodooShield will toggle between ON and OFF

Always ON: 
VoodooShield will remain ON

VoodooAi:

This is a built-in scanner that classify all files as safe, suspicious or unsafe. In addition, a graph indicator showing the maliciousness is displayed.

How to allow (Whitelist) a Program:



VoodooShield will automatically allow all programs that are launched while VoodooShield is in OFF Mode.

If VoodooShield blocks software that you would like to run, simply click on the desktop shield gadget or balloon notification to scan and run the software. You can also left click on the desktop shield gadget to toggle to OFF Mode to allow additional software. You can also right click on VoodooShield for more options and settings.
