No slowdown or freezing experienced here so far.

Latest 3.44 beta is now available:
Update:
Installed and working well. Right-click scan option is a welcome addition. Auto-allowing regedit when called without arguments is also more convenient. Most importantly, no freezes so far.

Can anyone help with this? I am running version 3.33 beta, but when I click on 'check for updates' it says I am running the latest version, which 3.33 clearly isn't, and upgrading to Pro hasn't fixed the update problem either.

Yeah, go here: https://voodooshield.com/
scroll to the bottom and download the latest version 3.44
No need for a clean install, just plop it over the old, she will be fine.

Thanks a lot CG. Any idea why it was showing as being up to date? Was that just a bug with 3.33 or is it still there? At least a clean install isn't necessary.

Thanks I had not noticed it was on the main page. Instead I have been going over to WS each time and finding the last post mentioning the latest release.Yeah, go here: https://voodooshield.com/

When you install the newer version over the other, make sure to right click the VS tray icon and 'EXIT" the application before doing so.

Too late. Unfortunately I didn't. Hopefully there won't be any problems. I guess if there are then it will have to be a clean install after all.
You would have known during installation if there was a problem, i exit the application to be sure there is none as a practice.

Thanks LW. During installation it obviously closed it but yes you're right, it would have been better if I'd done it first. Everything seems fine though.

I have to admit I've never bothered closing VS first as it appears to know you're installing a newer version and handles the process automatically and presumably safely.
It's just a habit with me for all software upgrades now, as in the past a few times i did not, and a couple of those did not end well

Not a criticism as that's a habit everyone should have. VS is the first program I've come across that is self aware when it comes to upgrades. Other software would do well to emulate VS.It's just a habit with me for all software upgrades now, as in the past a few times i did not, and a couple of those did not end well

Anyone know how i can completly remove voodooshield? after deinstall there comes a massage that some rest maybe on the system. how i can search for drivers? thanks in advance
Install Microsoft Sysinternals utility (Autoruns) "you may have to restart the system" run Autoruns and look for a driver from VoodooSoft "in Windows subfolder". Right click on this driver, choose (go to) Image and Windows Explorer launches, delete the old driver, return to Autoruns and delete the autorun-entry.
Download Autoruns from here:
