Unlike standard antivirus tools, VoodooShield will not wait for viruses to enter your computer to lock it down. As soon as the program detects any unusual software that it may consider it to be a threat, such as a suspicious website or e-mail, it will lock your PC to keep it free from any potential harm. Thus, you can have VoodooShield comfortably installed by your favorite antivirus and see how they complement each other.

Unless it finds it in its whitelist or it gets some kind of assurance of it being harmless (i.e., a valid and verified signature), VoodooShield will lock any new running software in case it is a virus or other kind of threat. When it turns to “ON Mode”, the program takes a “snapshot” of the apps that are running at that very moment, allowing them to keep on running for as long as required. Likewise, you can launch any other previously allowed program while the PC is still locked. However, in order to install any new software tool, you’ll have to turn VoodooShield to OFF Mode first – use this option wisely as your PC will become vulnerable while in that mode.

The program’s whitelist is only one of the three layers involved in making the decision of locking your PC or not. The other two are machine learning plus an AI decision engine and a multi-engine blacklist scan. If the new software passes all those three layers, then it’s good to run. This level of demand is so high that it you will need to put the program in OFF Mode if you wish to upgrade to a new version of VoodooShield! more
