VoodooShield is a free version of the program that protects the operating system from various kinds of viruses and threats spread via the Internet. The product is a switch that, when active, blocks the launch of any code, including malicious code.
Voodooshield review
The program works in two main modes. Thus, in the OFF state, VoodooShield does not provide OS protection and does not block applications on the computer. Thus, this mode is suitable for the installation of new software by the user.
When switching on any application that uses the Internet in its work, the “shield” automatically switches to the ON state. This creates a so-called snapshot of the allowed processes after which all other code is blocked by the program in order to prevent infection of the system from the outside. In other words, when VoodooShield is in active mode, it switches to a whitelist and cuts off everything else, preventing it from making changes to the system.
The tool’s interface, as such, is missing. The user has only a settings window, the vast majority of which, however, is inaccessible (inactive) in the Free version. You can quickly switch between VoodooShield modes by using a small, shield-style widget located at the bottom right of the desktop by default, on top of all other windows.

Conclusion
