Many organizations around the world have been hit by what a UK cybersecurity agency has described as a “global ransomware incident.” It is crucial for all internet users to take measures to protect their computers against these malicious attacks that have serious financial and integrity repercussions. It is important to use special software because these cyber attacks bypass conventional antivirus programs. Cybereason RansomFree is a powerful tool that protects against 99% of ransomware strains, including new ones.
Features and Functions
The installation wizard gives you step-by-step guide that is easy to follow. It places specially-crafted files in different locations on a computer, which should not be deleted to avoid compromising protection. The protection is activated immediately after installation.
The design of RansomFree is based on Cybereason’s unique behavioral approach to tackling ransomware. The free software can detect and block ransomware from where it starts encrypting files.
When the program detects ransomware activity, it suspends the activity and displays a pop-up message warning you about an imminent attack. You will then have the option to easily stop the attack by making just one mouse click.
The pop-up message will show the name and path of the malicious file, including date and time of the attempted attack. If you recognize the file and activity as familiar and safe, then you need to click “No.” If you are not sure of the activity, click “Yes” to stop and clean the threat to avoid possible encryption.
The program protects against the encryption of both local and remote files. Protecting against the encryption of shared files is very important for organizations considering that the attack of one employee is enough to bring down a whole company.
RansomFree detects both stand-alone and fileless ransomware. Stand-alone ransomware exploit vulnerabilities in different applications while the fileless strains abuse legitimate Windows tools.
Conclusion
While ransomware attacks have largely targeted organizations, no one is safe, even individuals. Therefore, it is important for all people to keep their data safe, which is where RansomFree comes in handy. The free anti-ransomware uses a unique behavioral approach to detect and stop the malicious programs before they encrypt files.
