    Interesting program, what are your opinions about this? Running with no AV and just VoodooShield?

    On a second though, I just thought about this VoodooShield, seems like more of a hassle than a convenience trying to whitelist programs and stuff.

    I think I'll just stick to the conventional AV programs

    I use Macrium Reflect for malware protection. If something goes wrong, I restore a clean image. In other words, I typically use nothing. I think it has been over a year since I got blindsided and it was a bundled PUP where I missed the opt-out option.
