VoodooShield discussion

You can edit some data here for version 4.0 pro. Any recommended setting (printscreen pls)

Bingo!
That registry hack fixed it.

Thanks a lot shmu26, it worked. Appreciate.

The reg hack took care of the autostart, but in Event Viewer I still get VS error.

Service cannot be started. System.Exception: StartProcessAsCurrentUser: GetSessionUserToken failed.
at VoodooShieldService.ProcessExtensions.StartProcessAsCurrentUser(String appPath, String cmdLine, String workDir, Boolean visible)
at VoodooShieldService.VoodooShieldService.OnStart(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)

I tried this with Automatic and Automatic (Delayed Start) with the same result. With the reg hack the service does start, but the Event Viewer error is present.

I reinstall 4.0 and the registration took this time but like others VS would not start after restart. Service was stopped. I manually started again.
I then went to view a JPG I had just taken and VS kicked out an error. See screen shots.

I also got no self startup for v4.0 I just start it up myself for now.Registration sticks ,but had to uninstall old version 3.59b

 

[russ0408]

I didn't get any self start either, and I found it really slowed my machine down when it was up and running.

I've tried several of the fixes suggested, but I still can't get the registration to take. Neither would the free.

 

[plat1098]

Me neither. Went back to release version 3.59 until further notice.

 

[j9ksf]

I had to uninstall 3.59b and re-install 4.00b before VS would run properly.

Can't open link in Google Chrome from Outlook 2016. Rules (maybe too complicated for me) don't stick.
After a reboot i'm back to the free version and registration doen't work anymore.
Back to version 3.59 for now.

Sent Dan a PM to hook me up with registration.

I have fixed a lot of the bugs that have been reported and that are in the error reporting system... just a few more to go then I will release the next version. Probably sometime in the next day or so.

If VS 4.0 is not running properly, please uninstall all versions of VS, then reboot the computer and reinstall.

Also, VS 4.0 should be much, much faster than 3.59... if it is not, you might disable the scanning of child processes and see if that fixes the issue for now.

Maybe it has to do with Emsisoft? I say that because both you and @Gandalf_The_Grey are suffering from the same registration problem, and have the same AV.
Just a guess...

Not using Emsi any more.

 

[codswollip]

Mysteriously reverted to free after waking from sleep (maybe that's a coincidence). Reconfirmed registration and back now to registered. Not seeing anything odd in Kaspersky TS.

 

[shmu26]

So much for that theory.
Maybe it's time for you to update the specs to the left of your posts...

Dan, do these bugs also include not being able to open a link in Outlook with Google Chrome without being prompted to create a rule?

Maybe, but I change so often I can't be bothered.

 

[Av Gurus]

I would like to know how to white list a folder with some portable apps with VS Rules options?

 

[_CyberGhosT_]

Can confirm upon reboot VS looses registration and is very difficult to get to re-activate.
Hanging in there till the next update, thanks Dan for the quick fixes and attention to detail.
v.4 looks so good cant wait for a stable.
