[dba-Tech] Cryptoprevent

[John R Bartow]

I look at it as just one layer in my protection scheme. Nothing is going to
be perfect. Almost all anti-virus solutions have "bad behavior' analysis but
none are going to catch everything either. So far none that I've seen have
been successful against all ransomware. I predict that coming soon we'll see
something like the typical ransomware encrypting malware combined with the
Powerliks, no file, auto expanding registry entry type infection combined
into one very nasty critter.

BTW Nick Shaw (FoolishIT) is a respected member of the anti-malware
community.

I use it on quite a few computers.

The only caveat is that the maximum protection mode may stop valid software
from running. However this is not permanent and you can't just throttle it
down until the software works. It does also have a whitelist where you can
add files that it is blocking so that it doesn't. I have not been able to
figure out how to whitelist everything QuickBooks needs to run. The other
app that is tricky is Office 2013+.

Otherwise it runs quietly, doesn't suck up a lot of juice and so far none of
mine nor my MSP peers has had a ransomware get through it. I paid for the
auto updating version but the if you're just doing for yourself you can
update it yourself easy enough with the free version.
