It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

impressive.
what does it mean that the last one "remained in memory"? I didn't understand that part.
Usually when a malware is blocked it also gets killed. As you see from the video the rest of the malware that was run are not in memory(you see what is running from process explorer window) .

thanks.
and what are the practical consequences of it remaining in memory?
Probably the malware is suspended. I am not an expert to tell you how a malware can get out of that state and run. Maybe someone can help with that. In my understanding it can't do anything and will go away on restart but VS should have killed it.

So if Voodoo blocks a nasty, it would be a good idea to reboot, just in case.

I think will start a VS thread here too

ok sorry I did not realise that about you being active on wilders also , but you have a great plan there : creating a thread about vs! it certainly is an interesting / promissing product , which deserves it's own thread!
