VoodooShield/Cyberlock

The models will get smarter over time, although it is already extremely accurate.

MOST OF THE TIME, the false positives are not VoodooAi's fault. If a developer wants to release a file that, for example, is not signed, is packed and obfuscated into oblivion, and uses well known hacker tools while compiling their work, VoodooAi will ALWAYS classify this file as unsafe... I would be disappointed in VoodooAi if it did not .

 

The raw data will always be the same for each model... the only time they will change is when the models are retrained, which I will be doing in a few weeks.

And the sensitivity level does not affect the raw data at all. Does that make sense? If not, please let me know, thank you!

 

Hehehe... good catch . I already know why it is doing that... I will fix this when I get a chance, thank you!

 

Hehehe, yeah, he confused VS .

 

Hmmm, I am not sure what you mean, please explain some more. Like, if the desktop shield gadget never shows up again, how are you right clicking on it? Please let me know and we will figure it out, thank you! BTW, please make sure you are running 3.45.

 

Cool, that all looks perfect! Although, when I install new software that I know is good, I either disable VS or exit out of it first, but either way is fine. Like when I visit a client's office, the first thing I do is exit out of VS, because I know I am going to be performing maintenance, along with all of the other security software. And if I have to look something up online, I will start VS temporarily. Thank you!

 

Yeah, I need to update the user guide... that is a new option.

Actually, there is no other way of explaining it... just read the option several times and you will understand it. Thank you!

 

Yeah, basically if both the blacklist scan and VoodooAi return safe results, the file will be auto allowed. This is probably safe, and while it would be extremely difficult to find something that will bypass both, we leave this option disabled by default, just to be safe.

 

Yeah, they are the exact same numbers you see when you click the "Details" button on the user prompt... the 3 algorithm scores there are the raw scores... they will be identical until the models change. Anyway, these are the values that are stored. Thank you!

 

Because you apparently had a web app running . If no web apps were running, VS would have been OFF, and it would have been auto allowed after the blacklist and Ai were determined to be clean.

You can think of Smart Mode / OFF (no browsers running) as kind of like AutoPilot mode... they are very similar.

But the main rule of VS is (and always has been)... if a web app is running, all new, non-whitelisted items are blocked.

It look likes AutoPilot might be a better match for you... it would have auto allowed the file after it was determined to be clean by the blacklist and Ai. Thank you!

 

Yeah, sometimes there will still be prompts . I actually got the name from Tesla Motors AutoPilot. The funny thing is that it is not 100% autopilot either... sometimes you have to grab the wheel .

 

We might be able to make this optional in the future, thank you!

 

Hmmm, it must mount like a USB / CD drive... I will take a look at it, it is on my to do list now. Thank you!

 

Yeah, that is what is going on... the question is... do we fix it, or does Truecrypt . I will take a look at it, I think there is a super easy fix.

 

Ok, I skipped a lot of posts, so if I missed anything, please let me know!

Thank you for all of the compliments, I really appreciate all of them!

Have a great weekend, thank you guys!

 

Dan I am stumped with this issue, it happens with no security on my laptop(after a re-install), just not as bad as with VS installed. I don't know what the true culprit is, it's very annoying to say the least! I love VS, and it runs fine on my son's laptop and my other laptop, keep up the great work!

 

Hi Dan. Have a great weekend. Please don't forget the chrome update block.

 

thanks for your answer. I absolutely have no problem with the right-click popup. perhaps, it can be annoying for someone else
btw, could you have a look into local sandbox? it seems never work for me I don't know why. Is it due to the highly restricted rules that make the sandboxed apps malfunction?

 

I like layers went it comes to security.

 

Thanks.

 

I understand. For me, when I boot up, I am online. Just the way I like.

 

I didn't have the option for this, but I knew it had to be an update for WSA...so, I allowed! I know what I am doing.



P.S. I had only booted up a few minutes earlier, and that is how WSA updates, silently. Unless, something like VS intercepts!

 

Cool, if you want me to remote in to your computer sometime, please let me know, we will figure it out, thank you!

 

Yeah, thank you... that is the inaccessible file bug, it really is super easy to fix, I am just figuring out the best and most secure way to handle it.

 

Sounds good, if you have any suggestions for the right click menu, please let me know.

The local sandbox feature needs A LOT of work . Basically, any action that requires admin approval is blocked... which is why I am not the biggest fan of local sandboxing. As Yoda said... Do. Or do not. There is no try. .

At some point I will probably improve the local sandboxing feature, but it is not a high priority right now. Utilizing Ai to determine the maliciousness of a file, pre-execution is a priority though .
