Do testers even know where and how to procure 5,000 to 10,000 samples that aren't months to years old ?
The age of samples definitely influences the detection portion of any tests...
It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Samples pack are not available on sites from where testers get samples?

They are yesnoo, but maybe not in that quantity.
That's a tall order, but I see why as it removes any critics ability to
say the samples were pre-picked or favored by VoodooShield.

Sure, they're are multiple sources. However, they are all old. Detections via signature and VT will be high - or should be.
It's difficult - if not impossible - to make sure you get all samples that are than 4 weeks old or younger.
Any how, it doesn't matter -- I was just pointing something out.
The greater point is this:
Zero Day - AV doesn't detect - because it has no signature. VS blocks - because it doesn't need signature.

Procuring that much 500-1000 zero-day or week old samples alone is a challenge it self, this contest is a brilliant strategy for Voodooshield.
There is no restriction on the age of the samples - all that is needed is 5,000 to 10,000 initial samples.
My point is that old samples will have high detection by AV scanners.
It doesn't matter...
As per rules VS should be tested in AutoPilot mode.
In AutoPilot mode, Blacklist Scan & VAi is there, no system lockdown.
Currently there are 2 VS Betas.
3.28 - Available on official site.
3.29 - It has some logging functions to find out the freeze prob that some users are experiencing. And it also has 2 options, Disable Blacklist Scan & Disable VAi.
Dont know what VS Beta Dev want to be tested?
I will confirm with Dev & update here.

i dont think so :
betas should never be tested.
it is their job
There is no released version of VS.
3.28 on official site is a recommended stable beta.
And 3.29 is the same but with logging functions & 2 options.
So the dev should release a stable version for the test.
if VS fail, the "it is a beta, it has a bug , it is not the true effectiveness of our product" excuse would not be invoked.
May be we should confirm this with Dev And add the info in the first post, what you say?

To use special edition of VS for test? I think the released version for sale should be used.

This going to be a lot harder than i first thought with that many samples required.
The beta is the version for sale.
Its a recommended stable beta.
There is no released final version.
So I mentioned to Umbra, we should mention to the Dev that there will be no excuses post tests if VS doesn't do good or as expected by the Dev. And if he agrees then we can post the info in the first post And if he dont agree then we will have to cancel the challenge, right?
By the way, we forgot to add a rule "Those who accepts the challenge & later want out have to pay $19.99 / year lifetimeThis going to be a lot harder than i first thought with that many samples required.
".

Well Voodoshield in nature have already engaged strong concept of Anti-EXE, so of course any samples to thrown will indeed restricted.
Even the AI and Cloud may provide discrepancy results, the process of restriction will be hard to create bypass.
So good luck for those enthusiastic members to accept the challenge.
