VoodooShield discussion

it whitelists the files in your PC and it doesn't have its own pre-made whitelist
also chrome installer is usually unknown to virustotal. I just checked my ChromeSetup.exe, no one has uploaded it to VT (I just uploaded it, first person to do so). That's why it's suspicious to VS

NOW, after I uploaded the file to VT:

I did same as you but Voodooshield doesn't allow to run it :-(

how about different files? do different .exe files have the same issue? can you connect to www.virustotal.com ?

if VS is misbehaving, you can report it on the dev's thread
VoodooShield ?
and provide details and screenshots
he will probably try to troubleshoot it for you

does anyone have any idea?

I think you have a problem with virustotal connection (being blocked by your ISP or being too slow). Perhaps VT was still checking the hash of the file so in the first screenshot you sent, I don't see the VT result ("VS is scanning the following file")

Rain, from the post I quoted right here, is he saying this issue exists after VS uninstall ?

I think he meant that after the re-installation of VS 3.5, he still got the same issue

You can allow it. It's known to be safe. It's part of Google Chrome's package.

That sw-reporter-tool is present in that folder for every installation of chrome on any PCs.
It is basically safe. It's not connected to the Internet so it's warning that a cloud result cannot be obtained. You may let VDS allow it.

A weak connection maybe? I've had a similar experience. It doesn't care to connect again.
You see there's a slight delay between when VDS blocks a file (in background) to obtain a scan result AND it displays the popup to you. If once it couldn't make a connection, it apparently doesn't retry!
