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!
Probably I started chrome when VS hadn't still loaded properly, and it wasn't able to get the connection at that time

What happens if a user tries to run a malicious file (flagged on VirusTotal) when VoodooShield is in install mode? Will it execute or be blocked? I was thinking at the case when a beginner is thinking to install a program, but it was instead malware

I think it would be allowed. From what I remember, its name is "Disable/Training Mode".

A guy just told me that VoodooShield doesn't block malicious files opened directly by a WinRar archive for the parent process feature. I don't believe this is true. Can you confirm it?

Just disable, auto allow for that and files in AppData location ;)

Ok, let's say we have an executable file (malicious) which has already been uploaded on VirusTotal but still has a detection of 0/57 because it's really new. VoodooShield would then rely only on Artificial Intelligence?
Case 2: we have a javascript file (Artificial intelligence not supported.) it has been uploaded on VirusTotal and has a detection of 0/57. It would be able to execute successfully and also the payload would, if parent process is enabled?

are you asking about autopilot mode?
because in the other modes, you might get a recommendation that it is clean, but the final decision will be yours.

with the exe file, yes, autopilot will let it execute, if both VS and Ai judge it as clean.
with the java script file, it depends. If you have a web app running, then exploit protection kicks in, and windows script host will not run. If you have no web app running, and VS says its clean, then it will run.

Let's say one downlaods ransomware from his email (a zip file containing a js file). The js file has already been scanned and has a detection of 0/57 on VirusTotal, which drops an EXE payload (undetected, but already scanned this one also). After extraction, if we execute the sample, using VoodooShield free on autopilot mode, what would happen? The js file should be allowed, because it's not detected nor unknown on VirusTotal. And the EXE file? Blocked or allowed?

Ok, this is an unknown scprit, which hasn't been uploaded on VirusTotal.com yet, so it's blocked. But let's say the script has already been scanned with VirusTotal.com and has a detection of 0/57.. Then, it should be allowed ro run in autopilot mode

if, if, if,.....that is a lot of ififififif...
If girl have a....

That file should be find (somewhere) and tested, then we will know, everything else is fairytale.
It's simple, you create a new js file and scan it with VirusTotal first. 0/57 detection. Then, you run it under VoodooShield and see what happens. The problem is that it's hard to find available for downlaod such a new file, if you don't code it by yourself
