[QUOTE="alakazam, post: 837249, member: 20235"] I've never tried AppCheck, but ZoneAlarm has been tested against several ransomware and recovered the files in almost all the situations. However, it will take a lot of backup space on your C drive because the way it works is: it makes a backup folder of all your documents and images, and it locks up that folder, not allowing anything to modify the files except for the PC admin. In case of a ransomware, it blocks it, and replaces any damaged files from your PC with a copy of the ones from the locked backup folder. Here is a recent test of ZoneAlarm: [MEDIA=youtube]yAzj__KK1cE[/MEDIA] However, the security suite as a whole (ZoneAlarm Extreme security) tends to be pretty buggy. On my PC, it crashed for no reason and it was very difficult to uninstall. So using ZoneAlarm was a mixed experience for me. It does offer good protection, it has one of the best firewalls in existence, great anti-ransomware and the Kaspersky signatures, but the software needs improving as far as functionality is concerned. My rating would be: 9/10 protection and 3/10 functionality. [/QUOTE]
