you can avoid this with disable cloud lookup cut off tvl and maybe disable trust signed apps but last one can be very annoying
The added protection you'd get from doing this is negligible and not worth the aggravation it'd cause.

If you are medium-advanced user and are willing to learn:
- Free: anti-exe (voodooshield, novirusthanks ERP), comodo firewall
- Paid: appguard

If you are an average users and don't want to deal with popups/prompts everyday:
- Free: kaspersky free or kaspersky security cloud free
- Paid: kaspersky, emsisoft

or a combo between 1 AV and dedicated antiransomware tool like appcheck antiransomware free

Kaspersky free/paid is the best AV against ransomwares according to several tests in all conditions. No other well-known AV is better

Why not adding a Anti-Ransomware solution next to the AV of your choice?

I would recommend CheckMAL AppCheck AntiRansomware Free, it comes with Behavior Blocker, Auto-Backup (limited to preset), Remediation of affected files, MBR Protection.
Free and efficient against most ransomware.
Make sure to have a backup anyway in case a malware of a system / hardware failure cripples your system. Don't attach the external HDD to your running system unless performing / restoring from a backup, it will be targeted by malware otherwise.
