[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1100098, member: 39702"] If you surf carefully, don't download suspicious files from unknown sources and don't open suspicious e-mail attachments, your chances of getting ransomware (or any kind of malware) is zero. I'm still yet to be infected with ransomware. Last malware infection I had when I was a kid in elementary school, really. Use Windows Defender, install ad blocker in your web browser of choice, activate common sense in your brain and this is pretty much everything you need to stay protected. That is if you know at least something about malware and security. If you don't know anything, to above mentioned security configuration, I'd recommend setting up Quad9 or any kind of malware blocking DNS and additional security in browser like Bitdefender TrafficLight. People should really stop buying AV software because it's no longer necessary. You can be better protected than with those free products than with commercial ones. AV software today exists purely for the purpose of upselling you products you don't really need. [/QUOTE]
