This one should be a test of just VoodooAI disconnected from VirusTotal
It definitely has a good share of FPs.VoodooAI is great, but it has some false positive detections.
I have VoodooShield Free on my other laptop, by the way.
That is definitely an interesting alert you are showing in that screenshot. The user's confusion should be solved by the VS recommended action. In this case, it is quarantine.Thanks for the vid. VS performed well again.
So many signed malwares. I know the creator can sign them no problem, but I like that VS states what was found in the signature. The pictured alert bothers me though. VS says the signature is valid but then what is the problem? Is the problem who signed or the program is verified? Someone who is in a hurry could see that the sig is verified and allow it as a FP. For me alerts is where we could see the most progress with security, including VS...

You have good insights, and I would suggest sharing them on the voodooshield thread over at wildersTrue in the balance @shmu26.
In the context of FPs and in the heat of the moment when someone is busy I wonder if the user will see the fine print. The recommendation is very small type. Also, it seems like something or some kind of dynamic is missing to me. VS does appear to be getting better overall in large increments with each passing year, I will say that.
Experienced users who aren't knowledgeable users (office employees when at home on their own computer or on their laptop, etc.) seem a concern with this type of alert, and I do still feel it could be improved for them. This is a general feeling for me more than pointed at this alert however. So many malwares are designed to deceive.
Wonder what the corporate world would be like if all corps deployed default deny set to auto-quarantine detections. Crazy thought that seems like it would be very effective at protecting networks in place with other security. I guess this is gaining wider traction?
