Batu69 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Bitdefender Labs has released BDAntiRansomware, a free tool which keeps your PC safe from some of the most common ransomware threats. The program "protects against known and possible future versions of the CTB-Locker, Locky and TeslaCrypt crypto ransomware families", the company explains. BDAntiRansomware requires installation, but by default displays no interface, and doesn’t appear to consume any significant system resources. We had no difficulties with false positives or anything else, but if you do run into problems, protection can be temporarily disabled. The program doesn’t require that you have any other Bitdefender software installed, and we didn’t notice any extra marketing payload (there’s no registration required, browser pages didn’t start opening at the Bitdefender site). BDAntiRansomware is no substitute for a full antivirus tool -- and in six months, when there are a host of new threats, it may not be much use at all -- but right now it appears to offer a worthwhile second layer of protection to your existing security suite. Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware is a free application for Windows 7 and later. Article source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, even if installed it won't cure your files...the damage has already been done and the files are already encrypted, you need to search google for ransomware removal tools to decrypt your files: http://www.techworld.com/security/7-best-ransomware-removal-tools-how-clean-up-cryptolocker-cryptowall-extortion-malware-3626974/3/ +Which is better for ransomware protection and takes less resources? HitmanProAlert vs Malwarebyte Aniransomware vs Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware Should I install malwarebyte antimalware first in order to install Malwarebyte antiransomware,it seems to crash everytime on startup using w7 64bit system? Should i have HitmanPro installed first before installing HitmanProAlert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowalski215 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 7 hours ago, Knightmare said: So if you're already infected, can you still install it? I read somewhere on BD Labs that "it's better to prevent rather than curing". Therefore no, it must be installed before you get infected. At this point antivirus should include a new layer of protection rather than installing another 3d-party software as far as I'm concerned. Sophos does it the right way.
