Protection against Ransomware

Everyone has probably heard of ransomware. It's a type of malware that encrypts the files on your PC or laptop, making them inaccessible.

Often, it's so well-made that there's no way to get your files back unless you pay a ransom to the criminals behind this software. They may or may not provide the key to unlock your data after payment. The price can range from hundreds to thousands of euros.

Finally, there's an effective program available that protects you against this type of crime. Ransomfree can be downloaded from the Cybereason website. In just a few clicks, the tool is installed, and after installation, it resides in the bottom right corner of your taskbar. The tool "sleeps" in the background until awakened by ransomware. You can watch a short video here to see what happens when you open a malicious link or file.

AppSys recommends that every Windows user install this software on their PC.

In 99% of cases, the software detects the malware and protects you from data loss or the hassle of restoring everything from your backup.
