Bitdefender created the decryption tool for some versions of ransomware. So it will be correct to say that they are the best option to ransomware?

It will be a good idea to use Bitdefender and Emsisoft at the same time ?

Not only BD , many Vendors created anti dotes for many Ransom variants.
How ever the only close contender is Dr WEB in the decryption category..Recently My company Network files been encrypted
by Locky 2 nd variant. Real time AV is Mc Afee.
I did contact Dr WEB support. after 1.5 weeks they made it finally with a nominal price. Kudos

Ransomware is only 1% of email-based attacks these days.
And email is the main attack vector.
So don't look for Ransomware protection, 'cause it's only 1% of the problem. Look for MALWARE protection.

Sophos seems like the best AV against Ransomware IMO. They have that HMP.A goodness baked in. But whatever, I'm no expert. But I'd use Sophos and VoodooShield or something.
