VoodooShield free blocks exploits and more
VoodooShield is free for home users and works alongside your other onboard security to provide additional protection. It's not perfect though and does require some configuration and requires users to make some decisions on what to allow if a file gets blocked.
Important Note: It did cause a problem with blocking scripts on SevenForums but there's a workaround. Change VoodooShield to "Training Mode" when first visiting and posting on SevenForums and VoodooShield will learn that it's a safe site and allow scripts to run.
Important Note 2: VoodooShield will replace UAC. If you subsequently uninstall VoodooShield you'll need to reapply UAC settings manually.
For anyone interested - watch the video here to get an idea of how it works and how to whitelist files that might get blocked even though you want to allow them to run. Basically any executable that's not in the whitelist gets scanned by multiple AV engines when it attempts to run and you get a notification if a threat is found. You also get the option to allow, block or sandbox.
