Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware 1.0.12.1 + Portable | 5/17 MB
Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware
is a combination Crypto Ransomware Vaccine which allows users to immunize their
computers and block any file encryption attempts from Cryptowall and
Cryptolocker also known as Ransomware.
CryptoWall is included in
the ransomware category, considered one of the most dangerous threats for
computer users. It is a modified version of CryptoLocker, which is used to
extort money from users of infected PCs.
Created by the popular
Bitdefender security company, Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware promises to protect
your system against the aforementioned ransomware by monitoring the PC in real
time and automatically blocking CryptoWall's actions.
CryptoWall's
symptoms
What CryptoWall actually
does is encrypt files on the host workstation, in the attempt to gain financial
benefit by promising users that the documents will be decrypted in exchange for
a specific amount of money.
The transfer is usually
processed via a service that is difficult to track, making it almost impossible
for you to recover your money, not to mention that you don't get a guarantee
that the files will be decrypted.
Furthermore, CryptoWall uses
a sophisticated public-private key encryption mechanism, which means that it is
not easy to recover the files yourself. As such, the only solution is to try to
prevent CryptoWall from reaching the system in the first place.
A
simple immunization solution
Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware
can keep an eye on your computer and block known encryption methods used by
CryptoWall.
Aside from real-time
anti-ransomware protection, this application integrates an immunization
technique that prevents executables from the 'AppData' and 'Startup' folders to
launch.
Protect
your PC against CryptoWall
Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware

minimized in the system tray, safeguarding your computer without interfering

However, it is highly
recommended that you use a permanent security solution, which can protect your
