To err is human, to forgive divine

 

Of course you are right.

 

Hey,
Not a freeware but you may look into the following and test ect... Wondering if ZoneAlarm is using Kaspersky?

SSRP or REDOXX Anti-Ransom are a first line of defense.

You basically lock down your PC with a software restriction policy to prevent malware from executing from locations where legitimate software typically doesn't run. You can make exceptions for certain legitimate software running from those locations.

Anti-ransomware is a second line of defense but if your SRP is doing its job, it shouldn't need to intercept ransomware trying to execute on your system.

 

BTW, does anyone know what ever happened to @Windows_Security (Kees)?

 

It seems that he closed his account.

 

You can find him HERE

 

@Minimalist @ArchiveX Thank you both.

 

Busy as a bee as usual and always laying out how formidable some freeware protections can be

 

Yes, also missed him here.

 

No, it checkpoint proprietary technology with a combination of BB and signature. BTW, the two anti-ransomeware (kaspersky and ZA) can even run together.

 

You are very welcome!

 

LOL, seems he is still obsessed with tweaking Windows. Personally I'm not into MalwareTips at all, but some prefer at apparently.

 

@fax,

Appreciate your insight!
