I mean i just unchecked ClamWin in the settings.
VoodooShield uses VirusTotal mostly then has Voodoo AI & a blacklist. If you have no internet access I'm not sure what happens since I've never not had an internet connection whilst trying to execute a file.

Because i am not sure how i would go about that.
When internet connection is not there or not connected, VS popup mention "connect to internet for cloud analysis" with file name & options allow/block.
But I dont know what popup (info) we will get if VS/VAi cloud is down?
I think there is 2 types SAP installer, with/without local AV.Because i am not sure how i would go about that.
Fine will win. If I had a choice of the two & was executing live real ransomware threats I would choose VoodooShield because I know that SecureAPlus is less secure...Should...
Even if there's no internet connection you can still block the files you execute.

the weakness of SAP is that it allows some scripts, and there is also less control over child processes, for instance, program updaters. Thus it gives you more freedom and less headaches, at the expense of a certain amount of security.I turn off internet connection in VM run rensomware and SecureAPlus block rensomware : untrusted file , not signed

Of course it will!
But there is one point: I see VS as a tool for more advanced users since SAP can be used by an average due to it's weaknesses (mentioned already by @shmu26 in the post above).

SAP can be hardened up in the way it handles scripts, but you need a proper understanding of command lines to do it.
You can also take away parent/child privileges from apps on an individual basis. This only takes a little patience.

Well as far I know if Voodoshield cloud is not available, then it will determine based on AI which comprises of different behavior analysis.
If I am correct, VAi is cloud too i.e requires internet to analyze sample.Well as far I know if Voodoshield cloud is not available, then it will determine based on AI which comprises of different behavior analysis.

VoodooShield is also user friendly for novices. The freeware version is not crippled and is adequate for most users as a whitelister/blocker. The paid for annual version has different options that can be changed.
