WD ?
Windows defender you mean

 

[Huchim]

Windows defender (in case you are windows 10), if not, any free AV would be okay alongside of voodoshield

If you are a home user (i.e., you are not on a big network where you have no control over the other computers), then use any good default/deny solution, and it will protect you from ransomware and everything else.
MT favorites are: Voodooshield, and Comodo Firewall with @cruelsister settings.
Both are good.

There are standalone apps specifically for ransomware protection, but they are less effective.

One of the best and most simple practices to mitigate this problem is to open mail attachments and suspicious files with Sandboxie.

Use any AV, just add VoodooShield!

Maybe VoodooShield + HMPro Alert: light and efficient

Best combination of tools for free protection from ransomware?

Don't install ransomware.

Spoiler: Free

As with any other advice, practice safe web browsing habits.

• Do not open unknown emails, chat messages or follow links.
• Do not download suspicious software.
• Do not use warez, cracks or keygens.
• Always update your software and OS.
• Keep and make regular backups of your data files.

And/Or browse in a Sandbox (Isolation/Containment).

 

[mekelek]

Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware against Ransomware for free.
or VoodoShield free on Smart mode, and don't allow things you don't know what is.
Paid: Kaspersky Internet Security, Emsisoft Anti-Malware, Bitdefender Internet Security, FSecure SAFE.

Combining KAR with any of your AV choice is good too.

Good Sense of Navigation + Windows Updated + software antívirus or Windows Defender with Voodoo Shield + Firewall enabled (Third-party or no), I recommend reforced protection router.
