Antiransomware Tools Apps and Alternatives

6 applications in this hubLast updated: Jun 15th 2021, 20:52 GMT

Ransomware is currently the newest threat when it comes to malware agents, gaining notoriety due to its behavior: asking for money in return for your files (basically, blackmail),

Unfortunately, many kinds of ransomware have evolved, each having its own characteristics. However, all follow the same principle: find a way to infiltrate the target's computer, identify files that are surely worth something to the PC owner (like a private photo or document with bank account info), lock the files in such a way to make sure that person cannot regain access, then leave a message behind with instructions on where to send money in order to get the files back.

Some popular types of ransomware are CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, Bad Rabbit, Petya, and WannaCry. Luckily, antimalware companies quickly reacted to the danger of ransomware, integrating antiransomware tools into their premium antivirus applications.

Some of them even created independent tools which solely focus on blocking ransomware, which you can check out in this hub. All these products are straightforward and easy use by anyone, having only features for blocking ransomware. Please keep in mind that they won't work if you've already been hit by ransomware (we have another hub for that).
