The Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware is a new product from security company BitDefender. The new security application comes to protect Windows PCs from several families of ransomware.
Να υπενθυμίσουμε ότι σαν Ransomware περιγράφουμε ένα συγκεκριμένο είδος κακόβουλου λογισμικού (malware) που έχει σχεδιαστεί για να αναγκάσει τα θύματά του, να πληρώσουν λύτρα – συνήθως με μορφή Bitcoin δηλαδή ανώνυμα. Ο εκβιασμός για την καταβολή λύτρων πραγματοποιείται με την κρυπτογράφηση data or lock the screen of the infected system.
Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware released like new project of the security company's laboratories. This means that the program does not exist on the company's main website.
You can download the application from the link at the end of the publication and install it on any computer running one of the supported versions of the Windows operating system.
As with other Bitdefender Labs projects, so far there is very little information available. For example, Bitdefender does not report supported operating systems. We tested the program on a Windows 10 computer and ran normally without any problems.
The company says that the app will protect your system against many known and future versions of it CTB-Locker, Locky and TeslaCrypt.
Here we should mention that Bitlocker Anti-Ransomware does not generally protect against all ransomware attacks as the digital signatures it recognizes are limited.
If future new ransomware families are added to the application, it will certainly become more appealing.
