Zemana AntiMalware proved to be the best ransomware protection among globally known products

[tomm]

Ransomware or also called “your nightmare” is a type of malware that block you from using your PC either by locking your files or system’s screen until the ransom is paid, so you can get in return the decryption key to recover your files.

Imagine this scenario: one day you wake up and turn on your PC to conduct your daily online activities but someone took all your files and asks for money in order to return them back to you. Scary, isn’t it?

It is even scarier that nowadays, ransomware is quite trendy among cyber criminals and there is a noticeable increase in ransomware attacks. According to Kevin Halley, his group has seen an approximate increase of over 4,000 ransomware attacks per day since beginning of 2016, which is a 300-percent increase over the approximately 1,000 attacks per day in 2015.

Globally, ransomware continues to be a problem but there is a solution for it.

Detecting and blocking ransomware isn’t an easy task especially with the constant increase of it.
Luckily for you, there is a perfect solution.

Zemana AntiMalware is a software that blocks even most advanced ransomware.

 

 

According to MRG Effitas, a UK-based independent IT security research company, Zemana AntiMalware proved to be the best rasnomware protection and got the highest score among globally known products. The full report you can find here.

 

They tested ransomware protection tools against eleven different ransomware, which have been prevalent in-the wild over the past 3-4 years.

Besides getting the highest score, they also revealed that Zemana works differently to the other generic ransomware detection tools. How is that?

Some of those tools detect generic ransomware behavior, for example, injecting into explorer.exe, or overwriting structured data with high entropy (encrypted) unstructured data. Other tools create white-lists on folders usually used by ransomware. 

Meanwhile, Zemana uses its cloud reputation system to check for unknown binaries. One might ask the question, “how can we test known malware against these different detection techniques?”

Because of this, we tested Zemana in two configurations, one where we used the original dropper, and one where we changed the hash of the dropper – thus it was totally new and unknown to Zemana.

Due to the way Pandora technology works in Zemana, the results were the same, and all malware samples were blocked from execution. The good thing with this approach is that even Patient Zero does not get infected. 

Besides the most advanced ransomware protection, that's not all Zemana AntiMalware can do for you. It protects you from any kind of malware and infections out there and it comes packaged in one of the lightest-weight file sizes at this level of protection, using only 5MB of disk space.

Usually, the most prevalent samples are included in these generic protections, but as always, life (and IT Security) is
