Recently, I just discovered... to my shock... that most of my friends have not yet heard about ransomware!
Of course, that begs the question of what program I should recommend for them so that have some protection beyond a Security Suite (typically I recommend Kaspersky IS to them.)
Naturally, I'm always urging them to... at a minimum... to periodically backup their data. And a few are computer literate enough that I take them by the hand and show them how to make system images with Macrium Reflect Free.
For most of them, they need something that doesn't require them to make choices about things they have no understanding (like pop-up alerts.)
But a few --that the ones who've learned how to use Macrium Reflect-- might be able to handle learning how to handle the occasional popup... in order to safeguard their irreplaceable data.
Suggestions...? Thanx
