And do you think use that softwares are or cause some overlap whith emsisoft antimalware or shadow defender? I mean they do the same function ?
I use VS alongside Emsisoft and I've not experienced any problems. Both products serve different purposes so I doubt you'll come across any conflicting issues (although adding VS's quarantine folder to Emsisoft's exclusions would probably be a good idea).

As for which is better, I switched from SAP to VS because I know VS has been put through its paces and I'm far more familiar with how it functions.
I've not seen SAP thoroughly tested and thus can't speak for the quality of its default-deny functionality in comparison to VS.
I believe @Evjl's Rain has tested SAP so he may be able to provide some insight.

They are both excellent
VS = anti-exe + virustotal + voodooAi
SAP = basic anti-exe + virustotal + 12 engines (+ offline ClamAV)

VS is more powerful as an anti-exe and voodooAI which can analyze a file and give you a rating. VT helps to determine its safety. VS is not an AV so it can scan only 1 file on-demand
SAP is more like an online/cloud AV with multiple engines which can scan whatever you want. You can scan the whole computer

VT result is just a snapshot of detection rate at the last time the file is analyzed so the detection may be low for new malwares while SAP can scan the file and gives you the latest detection rate out of 12, but the age of the engines is questionable. SAP can scan a large file while virustotal has file size limit

SAP has slow servers so you may expect slow scanning speed while VS is usually very quick

in general VS is more powerful than SAP but try both of them to see which works better for you
SAP may conflict with some AVs while VS doesn't

SAP will show less popups than VS even in autopilot mode so it's better if you don't like popups

Evil Rajin Thanks for the aclaration I think vodoo is a good product . Before your explication i think it only popularity and SAP haves an horrible interface. But whit your explain it seems more consistent and i understand better. For me i dont like proucts who scan alongside antirivuses or have realtime protection i think they work bad and never understand how they work. Sometimes all software update nd resources consumtion goes high levels. Do you think talking about layered protection
1 layer NATRouter
2 Windows Firewall
3 Heimdal (I have heimdal)
4 Vodoo
5 Emsisoft AM

When you have a chance look up Heimdal reviews verses malware,I havent seen a good result yet,it may be a good update tool,but Voodoshield is just way better, that its no contest.gl

Heimdal and VoodooShield aren't really comparable in any way. They do two completely different things.

Prevention is always better than remediation though and as VoodooShield's function is to stop malware executing on your system in the first place it offers far superior protection.

Sap has better features and it's like AppSamvid but a little buggy and sometimes problematic.
Sap has good clouds while vooodhsield don't also the free version of vs has limits while Sap don't have significant limitations in the free version but I would pick vooodhsield because it's easier to use and has dynamic detection(AI)
Maybee vs and a free av?
