[QUOTE="danb, post: 1020542, member: 62850"] Hey guys, here is the latest version of VS. The main change is that we added a right click option to Disable / Enable USB Flash Drives. Also, the mini progress bar on the Desktop Shield Gadget should be working better now. VoodooShield 7.40 [URL unfurl="true"]https://voodooshield.com/Download/InstallVoodooShield740.exe[/URL] SHA-256: 766549beb5db2840e7094bf64ef4679aad9f53389153b91b83320c39282a31f2 BTW, yeah, VS is like UAC on steroids, and is better in pretty much every single way. Then again, UAC was never meant to be a security mechanism, so we are kind of comparing apples to oranges. VS is more like a hybrid of UAC, SAC and AppLocker. I will start a list of all the ways VS has improved on UAC, here is a very short list off the top of my head... VS remembers your decision for later. In other words, I do not have to click Yes / Allow each and every time I want to run an elevated command prompt with VS. VS has Dynamic Security Postures. VS has its Antimalware Contextual Engine, which drastically reduces the number of unwanted user prompts and does not block blindly. VS offers file insight (WhitelistCloud, VoodooAi) and user recommendations to the user. VS does not force the user to respond to an affirmative user prompt (they can just ignore VS's mini prompt and it will auto close). And lastly, VS does not have known bypasses ;). On a side note, I find it infinitely funny when people say VS is overkill, and in the same breath they say "Make sure you have UAC enabled" ;). Thank you guys! [/QUOTE]
