SmartScreen, UAC, and VoodooShield
If I have smartscreen enabled, and UAC set at the highest level, does that make security apps like VoodooShield superfluous?

no, it doesn't.
1 some malware can bypass smartscreen and UAC
2 some malware installs by script, which is even trickier to block
3 there are fileless exploits, which are trickiest to block.
For these 3 reasons, you can benefit from Voodooshield, besides the fact that it has Ai to help you evaluate if a file is safe or not.
I actually change around my security configuration a lot, it's kind of my hobby to try out different security apps and combos.
but here's a good security config that includes VS:
Windows Defender + Voodooshield + HitmanPro.Alert
to download latest version of VS:

a word of explanation: this config is an example of the "layered" concept of security.
in truth, VS alone will give you 100% protection -- if you do everything right and heed all warnings.
but human beings make mistakes and take risks, so that's why it's good to have a second and third line of defense.
