Discount Anti-Virus Software - http://amzn.to/2jURBkmVoodooShield - Free Application Whitelisting with Over 50 Antivirus Enginesmrizos2016-10-27 | In this video I'll test out VoodooShield against a few viruses I downloaded today as well as some from the internet. This is my first day playing with VoodooShield, so more videos are sure to come.
Per their website ( voodooshield.com ), here's a great description of what VoodooShield is:
Traditional blacklist antivirus software can no longer keep up with the 200,000+ new viruses and malware created daily, so VoodooShield locks your computer and blocks all new, non-whitelisted executable code (including viruses and malware), while your computer is running a web app (browser, email, etc.). Traditional antivirus is great, but your computer should be locked when it is at risk.
VoodooShield uses a proprietary proactive whitelist snapshot approach to virus and malware protection. VoodooShield is a patented toggling Desktop Shield Gadget / Computer Lock that automatically toggles to ON and locks your computer when you start a web app. There is never a good reason to let new, non-whitelisted executable code run while a web app is running.
Since most viruses and malware attack through web browsers and email attachments, VoodooShield simply locks your computer when you are browsing the web or checking email. It also protects the user space when not at risk. When used properly, VoodooShield will effectively block all browser and email based viruses and malware. VoodooShield does not remove existing viruses.
