VoodooShield

VoodooShield, just like the name implies, is a program designed to protect and shield your machine from outside threats. Although it does not use potions and various plants to actually protect your machine, the name is a metaphorical reference to how it sort of works. It's a shield, so it has to cover your machine on all sides. For this to happen, a difficult mechanism had to be put in place, conducting the apparently simple interface.

Right, so the first thing that caught my eye when using this program was the fact that the user gets to choose the mode in which this program works. It's got a training, smart and always on mode. What does each one do? For starters, the training mode is a complex system of calculations that aims to serve the user exactly by following online habits and general guidelines offered by whoever uses the PC it is present on.

The other two, smart which is on by default and always on, are a tad more hands-on approach. Still, smart allows a certain number of issues to pass through, provided the user signals them as false positives. Protection can also be disabled with the touch of a button.

Just like in the case of its modes, the number of settings offered is decent. These change the way information is displayed on the program interface, allow the app to start together with your Windows operating system, activate balloon notifications, and enable constant update reminders. There are plenty of other such changes, ranging from basic adjustments to specific quarantine and utility-related issues. This program can be tailored to your needs.

VoodooShield is a simple application in terms of functionality. It protects your machine and that's about it, but behind this friendly interface resides a complex mechanism that keeps everything safe and in place.
