[QUOTE="vtqhtr413, post: 742870, member: 65229"] From Calendar of Updates: June 14 2018 Quote from a member Hi Dan, What do you think about this? [URL="https://avlab.pl/en/best-antivirus-software-2018-based-three-security-tests"]The best antivirus software in 2018 based on three security tests[/URL] Dan's response Yeah, we missed one... AVLab tested VS in AutoPilot mode. If VS would have been ON during the test, it certainly would have blocked that file. It is kinda funny... AVLab emailed everyone the test results and they explained to me that they tested VS on AutoPilot mode because our User Guide says "Antivirus testing labs should run VoodooShield in AutoPilot mode when testing VoodooShield with traditional antivirus methodologies, since this mode emulates as closely as possible traditional antivirus." And that is perfectly cool with me... it just further demonstrates that the computer should be locked when it is at risk [IMG]https://calendarofupdates.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif[/IMG]. AutoPilot mode is an allow-by-default mode, and if we are going to be tested along side other allow-by-default products, it is only fair that VS is tested in AutoPilot mode, otherwise we are not comparing apples to apples. Besides, if they were to have tested VS in Smart or Always ON mode, it would have been boring and we would not have learned anything new.

In other words, install your favorite effective AV product and also lock your computer when it is at risk with VoodooShield [IMG]https://calendarofupdates.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif[/IMG]. From Dan at VoodooShield: June 17 2018 Here is 4.33... pretty much everything should be fixed except an issue with ivpn which I will work on tonight, and a weird script block in a C:\Intel folder (I think the script is changing or something). There are not really any new features in this version... just mainly bug fixes and gui refinements.
