CryptoPrevent v7.0 Released!

[technology]

Changes in v7.0:

• NEW simplified and easy to understand interface, replacing the many obscurely labeled protection option check boxes with a few simple protection “levels” to select from (the old interface still exists in the Advanced menu, and it has been updated as well.)
• Updated to not trigger Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detections with the installed version (thanks to the MBAM research team.)
• Improved Filter Module function.
• Changed recommended defaults slightly.
• Enabled optional “Experimental Protection” level (the Experimental EXE/COM settings in the Filter Module.) NOTE: This setting is not largely tested and is NOT recommended for most people, as there may be side effects which could potentially cause system instability. Please understand I cannot accept responsibility for your usage of this setting. If you do wish to use this setting, I would love to hear your feedback on any issues you suspect may be related to having it enabled.

The original methodology CryptoPrevent used to lock down a system was presented by Lawrence Abrams of bleepingcomputer.com here, and without that guide CryptoPrevent would not exist. Unfortunately, like the other Cryptolocker Prevention Kit mentioned, the guide by Lawrence Abrams involves usage of the Group Policy Editor available in Professional versions of Windows, and is a time consuming manual task.

CryptoPrevent seeks to alleviate these issues in allowing protection on ALL Windows OSes, while being easy enough for the average Joe to do, and optionally providing silent automation options for system admins and those who need to immunize a lot of computers automatically.

Further, CryptoPrevent has been improved to include upwards of well over 250 rules instead of just 6. Also now that CryptoPrevent includes a real-time executable filter module, it is far more valuable than software restriction policies, even if you did create over 250 rules by yourself!
