In a way you are right but in most cases you are online when downloading and running stuff so you should be fine most of the time.Right SHvFI,
This is why I would say VoodooShield is not for the novice PC user because at this point VS will ask you for input on weather to allow or block the requested exe, and if you don't know or take the time to know what your clicking "yes" or "allow" to, your PC may end up in a world of hurt. All of my gaming buddies that are above average PC enthusiasts run Voodoo many of them exclusively and have not had infections for well over a year.

It asks you on install if it's a clean install so it could do an extensive whitelist. If you click no it will whitelist nothing except everything in Program files and critical windows processes(Default setting in free version).The program looks good and it's better then I thought (tested with a few exploits and "tricks"). The downside is that is not for average user because it has a lot of FPs, mainly because of VirusTotal and the AI.
Also, what does the program do if you already have an infection and you install it?
If you have an infected system most programs can't help because either they can't do it or the user doesn't know enough to do it. In theory one could "clean" the system with the help of VS but it's not practical as you can guess.
Yes, it tells you to connect to the internet.And I guess when offline it mention on the popup to connect to internet for cloud verification/analysis, right?
