[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 999884, member: 7463"] Hi Scirious! You are making an important point about Neushield in that it is much more of a disaster recovery application than a specific anti-ransomware application (which detects by malicious actions). It does actually have some ability to prevent some ransomware from working by detecting mechanisms, but this ability seems to be restricted to things like Petya, Diskwipers, MBR Lockers and the like. Neushield does work through System Restore, although separate restore directory exists within Neushield for efficiency. A concern about this may come to mind as some ransomware have the ability to delete system restore points. It was determined that although NeuShield will allow the actual encryption of files, it will prevent Shadow copies from being deleted thus allowing trashed files to be nonetheless restored. So NeuShield is kinda-sorta a hybrid between anti-ransom and disaster recovery. [/QUOTE]
