Am I at Risk From Ransomware Ransomware is on the rise and with this crypto ransomware being so aggressive and in encrypting all your data and holding you to ransom for a fee to release your data is a nightmare for home users and businesses. These malicious malware can infected a computer and bring a business to its knees. Anti-Virus companies are working hard to find a way to protect people and their customers from being hit by ransomware. But beware of software companies claiming you are protected, never let your guard down and make regular backups of your data and keep it in a safe place away from the computer. Having a computer image of your system and backup of your data is the only sure way of defeating ransomware. The only inconvenience is reinstalling your operating system, but I see this as a small price to pay, it’s better than getting hit by ransomware and having all your data encrypted and having no way of recovering that data. Now there is companies that are releasing ransomware protection software, but like I said nothing gives your 100% protection against Crypto-Ransomware like CTB-Locker, Locky and TeslaCrypt, File Locker, Torrent Locker, Cryptolocker, Cryptowall, MBR Ransomware, Petya and many others. Yes this software is a step I the right direction, but it’s the wrong message we should be sending out to people, relying on software is not the answer to the problem, cyber criminals will find a way to bypass your software and infected your system with Cypto-Ransomware. So in this video I will be testing out Bitdefender Anti Ransomware, this video is for education purposes and to show you how good or bad the software is that I am testing. Stopping ransomware is not easy and there is always a chance things can go wrong. Never play with ransomware on your personal computer, these tests are done in a virtual lab setup. If you wish to use Bitdefender Anti Ransomware, you can download it from there website below Free Bitdefender tool protects against ransomware infections https://labs.bitdefender.com/2016/03/combination-crypto-ransomware-vaccine-released/ Need help with computer problem? join our forum http://www.briteccomputers.co.uk/forum

  1. Am I At Risk From AutoCaps
  2. Wait!!! you have Malwarebyte-anti malware so why you have to scared against Ransomeware.
  3. How do you get ransomware ive never had any,just wondering
  4. Video would have been 16 minutes without all the pausing to move windows. OCD?
  5. just buy full version of malware bytes and hitman pro as scanner
  6. Off Topic , how you know that all your programs / apps are up to date ?
  7. BitDefender is made by some Romanian guys , and I am Romanian , nice
  8. when I seen the title i was like nope, I thought this because Ransome ware is downloaded manually, so it would be more like 39% protection
  9. he should be a anti-virus software
  10. So far Microsoft security essentials blocks all types of virus including ransomware
  11. Where do you find these sample files.
  12. What about the virus downloads???
  13. I think to protect your files you can create one text file with a long text and have the same text on the paper. When the file get encrypted you can retrive the key using some calculations with encrypted data and original data.
  14. Would the Premium (Realtime) Version of Malwarebytes prevent these from running in the first place? I does detect them when you ran it on the EXEs.
  15. how did you restore your system before the ransomware and have you found a way to protect against petya and or remove petya?
  16. USE LINUX BITCHES
  17. Yep, the best way to avoid all those Ransomware and such is to not click on Ads, do not click on links or images inside e-mails from people you don't know especially from mails in the spam folder, do not accept when a page suggests you to install some kind of application because you (supposedly) need it to view the page properly (that's just bullshit). Long story short, always be vigilant when surfing the internet.
  18. The Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware tool featured on this video protects you "only" against a few specific types of ransomware, if you want full ransomware protection against all known and unknown ransomware you need to get at least Bitdefender Anti-virus Plus 2016, it has a specific module to protect you against present and future threats. Not saying this is not a great tool, but keep that in mind.
  19. What is quite surprising is why would Bitdefender release a tool such as this if in fact it doesn't detect the ransomware it says it detects. Obviously from the tests you ran Brian, it didn't pick up 2 out of the 3 they claim, but wouldn't they have done these same tests in their labs.

    You were able to expose the flaws in their program in under 15 min. It's bizarre, but this is tech and since when did technology behave logically??

    It would be interesting to see what Bitdefender's comeback would be to this video.

    Great work nevertheless Brian, appreciate your vids mate!!
  20. malwarebytes anti-ransomware(beta) is better
