VoodooShield/Cyberlock

Yeah, but please keep in mind that it was a command line block, so no blacklist or Ai scan was performed, so technically it was not a false positive. As you were saying, the blacklist scan returned a clean result... btw, the VoodooAi score was super clean as well. Thank you!

 

Cool, thank you for the info... If I have time this weekend, I will install all of the plugins and see if one of them is causing this issue. But if you discover which one it is before I get a chance to look at it, please let me know!

 

It looks like mood answered most of your questions (thank you mood). The red entries are system files (this is indicated at the top right of the setting screen for the other tabs as well). The other questions will take me a while to answer, so please look at mood's responses and take a quick peek at the user guide, and please let me know what questions have not been answered... I really want to get to work on VS and retraining the VoodooAi models. Thank you!

 

Yeah, that would be interesting to know... thank you!

 

Win 7 x64
VS Auto-Pilot
Try to install Yandex Browser:

 

For once I read the bit at the start of the installation - you know, the bit about turning off UAC. Who didn't do it, and why? BTW, I did because Dan sounds as though he knows his stuff. I do worry whether he gets enough sleep as he always seems to be awake.

 

Thanks, in the manual I have found all the answers but for Autopilot that I found it in the forum

I have seen that you have been working on VoodooAI for a while, when do you plan to release it in the stable branch? and what's next for VS?

 

I have no problem using both UAC and VoodooShield together. Currently I have UAC at always notify and VoodooShield at Smart mode.

If you want to disable UAC, you might want to be aware of this before doing so.

If you still want to disable UAC, you are in your right to do so as you please.

 

That was an old requirement with earlier versions of VS but it is not required now. In fact you must of installed v2.86 as the newer (beta) versions no longer even mention UAC on installation.

 

I have 3.19 installed. Hmmm...interesting.

 

Oh, then maybe I haven't read the info while installing for a while. In any case, it isn't required any more to disable UAC. I never do, in fact I have it set to the max.

 

I always have UAC at max. I believe UAC is additional level of protection. I felt uncomfortable when earlier versions of VS required to have UAC disabled.

 

Yeah, that would be interesting to know... thank you! no.problem.v.s,is still running smooth...

 

Is it worth to add to "Web apps" such cloud storage apps like Dropbox, Google Drive etc?

 

Hey, I will catch up soon, but here is 3.20. Do you guys remember when I used the code analysis in Visual Studio to fix all of the minor issues and optimize this code for VS 2.0? Well, that is what this version is, but for VS 3.0 obviously. It is not well tested, but I remember how much better VS ran after I did this for 2.0. There were basically 100 or so optimizations, and I do not think I made any mistakes, and it seems to be working really well, but as I was saying, it is not well tested, so if you run into issues, please go back to 3.19.

Also, I did not realize that not every country in the world could ping google (which is how VS checks to see if the internet is working). We used to ping voodooshield.com, but I recently changed it to google.com... but since there were issues with internet connections in the last version of two of VS, I changed it so that it first pings google, and if that fails, then it pings VoodooShield.com. Anyway, that should be fixed now.

One last thing... you might notice that the memory utilization for this version of VS is slightly higher than what it has been... it is a long story, but I am just experimenting with something... but on average, it should only use around 40-50 mb of ram, and less than 1% cpu, and essentially zero hdd.

Please try this version and I will catch up soon, thank you!

Ooops, I just realized that this version will only work if you install 3.19 first (or already have 3.19 installed), then install 3.20 on top of 3.19. Sorry about that... I will fix it tomorrow.

Edit again: You should be good to go, same link!

 

Glad I was procrastinating.

 

Hehehe... I just uploaded the fixed version, it was an easy fix, so it should be good to go, using the same link. Sorry about that! Hopefully there will not be anymore surprises. I remember when we did this for VS 2.0, there were like 500 or so optimizations, and it all went perfectly (from what I remember ).

 

Download is slow, Dan.

 

Running ok here.

 

hehehe, it is only 13 mb, how can it be slow .

 

Great to hear... I just had an exception with the VoodooShieldService, but I think it was because I was running the messed up version on this machine. Either way, it will be an easy fix, thank you!

 

Exactly! Still, it was slow. I think @stapp noticed the same with maybe v3.18 too.

 

That really is odd... VS is growing, but not so much that 13 mb is slow to download .

Hehehe, that is why I said that .
