Cannot Start VoodooShield Service On Computer

[shukla44]

This is the error i get after some time at a window restart. This has happened to me 3-4 times this week.

I do a restart as stated in the error, and everything is fine. No error prompt then.
Is this a bug? What am i doing wrong?

Did you uninstall then reboot and then reinstall VoodooShield as stated above or did you just reboot your machine?

 

[shukla44]

I just rebooted.

VoodooShield service is set to Automatic (delayed start). And in the event logs, VoodooShield reported that the service started successfully. Then why this error window?

UPDATE: Maybe i am reading too much into it. If no other user is having this problem then, it is not VS's fault, i guess. I will reinstall VS & report back as requested in the error window.

Yes but did you uninstall VoodooShield then reboot and reinstall VoodooShield i had the same problem once and it fixed it for me.

Maybe the issue appeared as the service was delayed to start. I think you should remove the service from delayed start items and set it to start automatically with windows.

Do you use VS? What is your setting at default? 'Cause i haven't changed the service startup of VS, so i am hoping that is it's default setting.

Thanks for mentioning this. I will do a reinstall of VS as soon as i can. Hopefully mine would be solved too....

Yes i do. It is not set to delayed start.

 

[shukla44]

Yes i do. It is not set to delayed start.

Okay. I will reinstall & inspect the service setting again, if it is automatic or not.

Thanks for mentioning this.

It is set as delayed in mine. But I encountered no error like that.
Follow @frogboy's suggestion. It might be fixed by a re-installation.

also mine says automatic (delayed start). I wonder why it has such a setting by default?

Hi there, i use VoodooShield as well and i did get that error before. In my case, it occured when i couldn't access to the internet. When my internet died, i rebooted and automatically i saw that message. I suggest you take a look if your firewall isn't blocking internet access to VS and add it to exclusions to any other security software.

Maybe your Kaspersky Total Security 2017 Firewall block VS, and it can't access to the internet.

No, it didn't.
I reinstalled VS & since then, i hadn't received that error window.

Thanks for all the replies & advises guys. Really appreciate it.
