Just wanted to alert folks to an excellent security product that I recently discovered even though it has been around for a few years. It took me about 20 minutes to wrap my mind around it, then it really did become simple. The product is an antivirus called VoodooShield: https://voodooshield.com/ What makes it different is that it works on a white list as opposed to a black list which is what all other antiViruses use.
This product is greatly admired by the folks at https://www.wilderssecurity.com/ and the developer spends much time at Wilders every day to answer any questions. I have read several reviews on the Internet about this product, including at least one magazine article, and they all admire it, not one single negative review.
Whether it is because of whitelisting as opposed to blacklisting, or some unique computer coding which I would never understand anyway, this product works just fine with most traditional blacklisting antiViruses and Malwarebytes. I am currently using all three: VoodooShield, my traditional AV, and Malwarebytes, all living in harmony.
There is a free version of VoodooShield, in fact, the developer states that most people will only need the free version. The paid-for, Pro version, is basically for Business/Commercial use. But, if for some reason you want the Pro version, and if you have been a long time member of WildersSecurity, you can PM him and he will send you a free two-year license for the Pro, but to repeat myself, he states that the average PC user would only need the free version anyway. His avatar at Wilders is, guess what, “VS”.
So, if anyone wants another layer of excellent protection or just wants to play, check it out, won’t cost you a cent.
As usual: don’t install any new program without first making a complete backup/recovery of your entire system and KNOW HOW TO RESTORE IT.
