Working well as always!

I have installed it in VM.
First test from malc0de: blocked 100%.


Any news about lifetime license?

Suggestion: when popup window that asks us if we really want to run the file is shown, it is not highlighted properly IMHO.
I would like to see its border and header in yellow/orange color (take some HIPS warning for example).
The user should be aware that this is potentially very risky action and might lead to infection.

Questions about .msi installer (Windows Installer Package):
I tried to run LibreOffice setup and nothing happened. No popup from VS that it got blocked.
VS tray icon blinked once, turned to white and quickly back to blue again (mode ALWAYS ON).
When I checked the log, there was an entry for C:Windows\System32\msiexec.exe = blocked (parent process).

1) Why VS didn't show popup?
2) Why log shows only parent process?
3) Why is msiexec.exe blocked with "Automatically allow all software from the Windows Systems folders" option enabled?

 

Cool, thank you! We are not sure about a lifetime license yet, but I will let you know as soon as we figure it out. Yes, we are going to have a custom alert screen for the next version, and I like your idea of making it red, we will definitely do that!

1) We suppressed the balloon for certain windows processes and made VS flash just once. We need to refine the usability, so hopefully it will make sense in the next version.
2) VS blocked its parent process before the child process could even start.
3) msiexec is a tricky process for us to deal with, I think we are getting close, but for now we just blocked it and made VS flash, since there are not that many .msi files compared to exe. Hopefully VS users will know to just left click to temporarily turn VS OFF to run a msi file.

Thank you!

 

No problems here with latest version.

 

Cool, thank you G111 and TH!

 

We had a small bug in 107-1 that had issues with Internet Explorer. The issue is fixed, please download the new version. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Updated thanks. No problems with Firefox (don't use IE).

 

I was able to install this recently (after having issues previously when testing) and thought it was a great idea, so bought it.

Some things annoy me far too much and have been riding the internet bareback for a while now - so this could be a great addition, without driving me insane.

Did find a bug which I have reported, not critical but very annoying, but on the whole I`m really quite impressed by the simplicity !

 

Thank you G111 and Fad!

 

Are you any closer to the Mac beta yet?

 

Yes, the beta version is turning out great. It should be ready within 2 months!

 

Is there any news regarding the blacklist issues available yet, even a vague timeframe - weeks, months ?

I`m finding that I have to leave if in OFF mode most of the time for the sake of my sanity

 

Yeah, it is finished, along with several other new features. It should be ready to release in 3-4 days! Thank you!

 

That`s excellent, thanks...I`m just doing a fresh install right now so I`ll hold off a while

 

We just released VoodooShield 1.08. There are a lot of new features, we think you will like them! BTW, the drag and drop to scan with VirusTotal is not yet working in Windows 8, but the Scan with VirusTotal button is. We will fix this asap.

 

Only just installed, but it`s looking good....

I think I may have come across one issue though.....when regedit is "de-blacklisted"

then only the 32bit one in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ is allowed through, the 64bit one in C:\Windows\ is still denied

Is this a file or path problem...I don`t know ?

 

Got it. One minor bug is when you open and close settings it turns the shield back on. You then have turn the "hide" on again. Also a suggestion it would be nice when, you hold the cursor over the tray icon it showed the version number, "VoodooShield 1.08"

 

Hmmm, we better check into this. Can you please tell me what you are doing to get this result? Thank you!

 

Yeah, I like the version number idea, we will include that in the next version, thank you! There is an option in Settings / Advanced - Automatically Reactivate when returning to Browser or Email. This is a new feature, and will take a little more tweaking to get it right. But I had not noticed that bug until you pointed it out. Can you please try it with the browser minimized? Hopefully it will not turn back on. Thanks again.

 

OK, if I type regedit into the start menu > run box, then I get the VS alarm bubble, and the subsequent dialog box to "Allow" which I do, but it doesn`t remember that it was allowed...

the actions are repeatable....(regedit is ticked as Allow in the Tweaks setting page of course)

To be quite clear, regedit DOES actually run after the alert bubble (if I catch it in time) and the dialog box have been dealt with, but the alert bubble & box appear each and every time.

Here`s the odd part....if I search for regedit in FileLocator (which is an unbranded Agent Ransack - search program)...
then if I click on the regedit found in SysWOW64 then no alarms go off and the program runs as expected. (I am on Win7x64 here)

I hope I explained that clearly enough

 

Dan - No it has nothing to do with browser, etc. VS is on. It's just when you go to and leave settings the VS logo/shield comes on in bottom right of screen. I have this set to hide, but when you go to settings the logo comes back on.

 

I see what you mean, I will figure out why it is doing that. Thank you for catching that!

 

I see, yeah, that is odd. I will look into it, I am sure it is an easy fix, thank you for catching that!
