Hi Is it safe to say just update without reinstalling from 4.16?

Some people do some don't. I uninstall and do a restart, it uninstalls very throughly.

 

[Alexhousek]

I exited out of the program and installed over top. No issues so far.

4.17 Stable version

VoodooShield™ - The User-Friendly Toggling Computer Lock.

Changelog?

 

[vtqhtr413]

Not listed where Dan posted nor VS website so damned if I know. You can pm him at COU Sir.

Changelog?

I think this build was in response to users complaining that they were getting signed out of their account. In other words, it was an issue that affected some licensed users.

4.18b Stable version

See next post.:notworthy:

4.18 Stable version.

From Dan at COU:

Anyway, 4.18 had a bug because I completely forgot that I had updated a dll and did not include it in the build. So whether you are having issues with 4.18 or not, it would not be a bad idea to uninstall 4.18, reboot and reinstall this version.

Is an av really needed if only voodoo is installed?

If voodoo is functioning properly, and if you always respond as recommended to the prompts, you don't need AV.
That's two "if"s.

Version 4.20. https://voodooshield.com/Download/InstallVoodooShield420.exe

From Dan at Calendar of updates; This version is all about usability tweaks, and it should be super fast. I believe the unnecessary scanning is fixed, along with unnecessary blocks.

I think Dan is a great guy with a great product on his hands. I remember when he first joined MT and that was a long time ago, yet he's always been hands on when it comes to dealing with customer questions etc. We could do with a lot more people like Dan in the world of all things tech.

Problems with v4.20

Firstly, VoodooShield website showing only v4.17 and NO v4.20

After installation, it did a snapshot. After which the VS icon on the desktop is not on top of every web page. It's hidden right below. Right click on the desktop icon has no effect i.e it doesn't open a menu

Now I uninstalled it

If you're receiving this error message from VS here is the fix.

VS because it's a paid solution and updated regularly, and I trust Dan. Free solutions can shift with the winds.

I stopped using VS and switched to OSArmor. What is your guys thoughts about VS vs OSArmor?

I dropped VS for ERP v3.1 which was quite nice. Now running v4 beta and miss the installer and command line features. Also have OSA on board.

VS was far too chatty for me and often allowed exe's kept coming back as pop-ups, never finding a home in the whitelist. Portable apps were another frustration.

I have also dropped VS for OSA, VS was a bit too chatty for me as well, OSA is running quite as a mouse with EAM. Not that VS isn't a very good product just running OSA for now as I prefer "quiet" products. VS was throwing up numerous popups while updating some certain programs.

I'd often whitelist in VS and presto, a couple days later it was nagging again. I feel like VS may be better protection, I love the interface, options, configuration and some areas where it excels IMO. Hopefully Dan can get v4 nailed out for those few issues remaining.
