Can several anti-ransomware programs be used at the same time?

[QUOTE="Threadripper, post: 809459, member: 78223"] Using multiple at the same time, like full fledged anti malware solutions, would do more harm than good in a ransomware attack - and that's if we disregard other issues and conflictions they may have without any ransomware. Use a good cloud service like Sync.com which is encrypted, or if you want lots of storage and privacy isn't your largest concern then go with Dropbox (I remember some of these having file rollback options - perfect for ransomware as well as having them closed and not syncing when you don't need to them). Of course good habits, system hardening and an anti malware solution of your choice will go a long way (dedicated anti ransomware module or not). [/QUOTE]
