Ransomware - stopping it before it encrypts

(1/1)

techidave:
while looking for a program that will stop ransomware from doing its dirtywork.  Or at least notify when it does find something.  I stumbled across this program CryptoMonitor

Has anyone used this or a similar program?

thanks
dave

Here's a bit of reading for you :-)
Be prepared against ransomware viruses..

alothough there's not many recommendations there - try from this post onwards:
I have the paid version of cryptoprevent

thanks for the link to the thread about it.  I must have missed this thread when I logged into my account.

FWIW I bought WinAntiRansom Plus a while back when on offer.
It does block and ask permission for things to run.
You can add up to 10 'Safe-zone folders'.
...
how good it is, I have no idea
