Ransomware - stopping it before it encrypts

[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

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
