if you guys/gals had to pick 1 anti-ransomware program, which would you run? Kaspersky? Ransomoff (which is beta??) Appcheck? other?

I've seen the tests in malwarehub and this tool by kaspersky does fairly well when online, but little less efficacy when offline. I am majority of the time online (work, home) and rarely offline, So i guess that isn't much of a problem for me. But I can see how others would worry if they are offline... Most times this tool will catch ransomware when online and block the ransomware & roll back things, but the same test done offline results in this kaspersky tool crashing & burning (thx @Evjl's Rain for those kaspersky anti-ransomware tests in malware hub where you test same malware both online & offline ;))

I have Kaspersky IS 2018 and AppGuard lock-down mode. Kaspersky has modified settings all untrusted, so would they be enough to stop such attacks?

Yes @mekelek that's undoubtedly true. It was kind of twitchy and rather superficial.

My takeaway was still to rely on brain.exe 2.0 instead. :p
