[QUOTE="HeiDef, post: 612998, member: 60542"] I'm the author of RansomOff so I just wanted to clear a few things up. Also I definitely appreciate the testing feedback good, bad or otherwise. First as it has been shown, RansomOff is not designed to prevent MBR attacks. As it was pointed out, that's a different type of attack. Second, this current version of RansomOff does not restore files however that feature will be in a future release. In our full fledged endpoint security product, Correlate, file restoration is available. Third, RansomOff will not clean your system of any files or artifacts dropped by a piece of ransomware. If you click 'Deny' when you get an alert, RansomOff will terminate the process but won't clean up. If the cleanup is an important feature, it can definitely be added. Fourth, a lot of ransomware is very buggy and by the way RansomOff interacts with it, there may be cases where you will not receive an alert but the ransomware will just hang. In that hung state, the ransomware isn't able to encrypt files and will require you to kill it via task manager. Either way, good feedback and valuable information I can add to our site to help clear up any confusion. [USER=52447]@Captain Awesome[/USER] - The sample you linked to is a downloader from what I can tell, not actual ransomware. RansomOff isn't protecting against regular Trojans. [USER=4591]@WinXPert[/USER] - What dll's are you missing? @Amelith - Can you provide some hashes of the sample you tested? [/QUOTE]
