Hello guys,
Nowadays ransomware threats are really popular and infect a lot of PCs everyday in all over the world. The most efficient way to protect us from ransomware is using for example a good AV with BB or HIPS or instead a default deny software. But there are also methods to understand if a ransomware is encrypting our files: look for numerous renaming operations (especially with suspicious extensions), resource hog, or even files icons that become blank (because they are renamed). If you encounter this type of malware: turn OFF internet connection, and try to to kill the suspicious process immediately with advanced process managers like Process Hacker. Fortunately for most of ransomware there is the decryptor (for example: Ransomware Decryption Tools Collection thanks @BoraMurdar ) (but NOT FOR ALL!).
Thanks guys and please write your opinion!
