Can I run on my pc only VoodooShiled + Zemana portabele scanner?

I install VoodooShield and Windows 7 say:

Windows did not find antivirus software.....,and Spyware and unwanted software. Can VoodooShield protect

my from spyware and unwanted software or It is bug on windows?

I'm only worried about windows pop-up "You don't have antispyware and unwanted software".
In VoodooShieldlicense agreement it say "You might consider disabling UAC".Will I disable or set on default?

VS is not antivirus or antispyware, is much more then that.
You can just ignore that message.
You don't have to disable UAC.
BTW: what version do you have (last is 3.54 think)?

OK thank.
Version is 3.45.

If you block everything that voodoo tells you to block, you will be very safe. You don't need AV.
But if you go against the suggestions, that is at your own risk. That is why some people use AV also, as a safety net.

As far as I know, disabling UAC is optional (reading Av Gurus' post now, & I agree..) although on Windows 10 we've continued to keep UAC set "on" max. (always notify) on both our home systems.
Yes, version 3.45 is the most current.
We continue to use traditional Internet Security (Emsisoft I.S. on one & Defender + Windows Firewall on the other) & have Zemana (installed) set on realtime protection too.

You can disable UAC with VS, but I would set it at minimum or default until the VS freezes are a thing of the past.
As for only running VS, you can but you better be a safe browser, a very conscience clicker, and have a very
good set of Browser plugins. It can be done but i would not recommend it.

Just untick what is highlighted in my screenshot and you won't see those warnings anymore. VS is solid, but you should add something else incase it freezes or crashes

Thank you all.
You all can see these

I run WD+VS Pro+ZAL and UAC default on my system, complete lock down without the need of another stuff.

These are also my security software with the difference that i use ZAL as on demand scanner.
If i want to test something suspicious i turn on ZAL real time protection and i am also using Shadow Defender just to be safe
in case i will do something stupid

Voodoshield is meant to be compatible to any security programs, you may also use to act as your sole protection program.

As long you are aware on the alerts taken then no issues must occur.

I ran Voodooshield alone on my niece desktop (with WD since I don't see a point to turn it off).

It's good enough for that. Just set it Auto-mode and good to go.

Voodooshield by far is the only set and forget security software I admire (the other being Emsisoft). You don't even need to configure any settings.

This is what I find most impressive about Voodooshield. You can download the small ~13 Mb setup file and within minutes of installation your PC is protected with no faffing around with dozens of settings. Not only that, you can easily replicate your whitelistings between PC's as the info is saved in the cloud. Awesome.
