Ransomware protection software

[barodius64]

Hello Everyone, I'm new here!

I'm looking for a ransomware protection software and was wondering if ya'll could recommend me some solutions?

Ordinarily I would say that Immunet does a good job of protecting users against ransomware but with the current update issues with build 7.3.0 I'm not so sure about that currently.

Might I suggest you try Malwarebytes stand-alone app called Anti-Exploit as an additional layer of protection against this type of exploit.

I helped alpha & beta test this software for several years using a VM in the past even before Malwarebytes bought the company (original company, Zero Vulnerability Labs) and also continue to use it in my layered anti-malware arsenal. It's compatible with Immunet too btw. Just create a custom Exclusion rule with Immunet for AE's entire Program Files folder to avoid any possible conflicts.

Be advised this is a beta build but it is free. https://qpdownload.com/malwarebytes-anti-exploit/

Best wishes, Ritchie...

There are Ransom Stopper from CyberSight, Cybereason's RansomFree and RansomBuster from TrendMicro. They are all free and I was thinking if any of them are any good to add as a second layer of defence on a server or client since I already have an antivirus but I don't trust it very much.

Hi William,

I too like to use a layered approach to my security and not rely on just one app to keep me safe. The trick is to get the right apps that don't conflict with each other or can be made not to do so & don't use up too much system resources together. Here's my current setup.

Panda Dome Advanced which has very good anti-ransomware efficacy, of course Immunet as a companion AV to Panda (ClamAV disabled) and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium.
