Emsisoft’s New Anti-Ransomware Feature<\/h1>\n

The latest WannaCry ransomware outbreak raised a lot of eyebrows as it wreaked havoc around the world, causing the shutdown of some hospitals in the U.K. and several large companies to suspend operations for 24 hours or longer.<\/p>\n

It has been a fact, in the past, that if your device were infected with ransomware, you’d either pay a ransom or have all your personal files (pictures, documents, etc.) encrypted and locked forever – you’d
\nnever be able to access them again.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret we’re big fans of Emsisoft. We’re fans of their products, we’re proud of their excellent team, the support they provide our mutual customers, and we’re proud to be an official Emsisoft reseller.<\/p>\n

So, we are very happy to report that all Emsisoft users will benefit\u00a0from a new Emsisoft feature called Anti-Ransomware.

Here’s the announcement from Emsisoft regarding their new layer of\u00a0protection called “Anti-Ransomware”:<\/p>\n

“We at Emsisoft see it as our responsibility to keep you safe from all\u00a0kinds of ransomware, and we are confident that we can stay\u00a0technological leaders in the fight against malware that encrypts your\u00a0personal files. To emphasize our products\u2019 strength in this regard, we\u00a0decided to shift our existing and proven anti-ransomware capabilities\u00a0into a separate protection layer component that we are calling\u00a0‘Anti-Ransomware’.<\/p>\n

“Contrary to most self proclaimed anti-ransomware specialist tools out\u00a0there, Emsisoft Anti-Malware… (is) able to block ransomware before\u00a0it even encrypts the first data file. We consider that critically
\nimportant, as recent ransomware samples have shown that criminals have\u00a0become selective and are prioritizing your supposedly most important\u00a0files for encryption. Our licensed security solutions don\u2019t wait until\u00a0a pattern of multiple file manipulations occurs, but intercept\u00a0encrypters before they can touch anything. Prevention is key…<\/p>\n
