What's the Best Antivirus against Ransomware?

[Lord Ami]

@Andrew999 : Kaspersky yes, but not sure for F-secure because the Deepguard can link to same concept like in Emsisoft and if one of those techniques bypass then ransomware will just successfully thrash the system.

In my tests it has been excellent against crypto malware. Of course it is possible to bypass DeepGuard, but it works on many levels. I've seen it miss the initial sample, but block downloaded/extracted one that would have crypted files.

The simple answer antivirus module holding sandbox.It may be a product of Comodo or Qihoo (360 Total Security).Both are free.You can be sure only virtualization and prevention.Some paid antivirus May also special modules anti - ransomware.Relying on the same signature that mistake.

I use Malwarebytes Anti Ransomeware but keep in mind it is still a BETA and may have problems.
