TrendMicro Ransom Buster is a standalone application for Windows-based systems and offers (according to the company) data protection from all forms of ransomware.
TrendMicro says the Ransom Buster is free for a limited time, without saying how long it is. The most likely explanation is that the company plans to release the application after some testing by the general public.
We should mention that those using TrendMicro products do not need the above application, as the applications company's security products have the same feature built-in.
You can download its 120MB Ransom Buster from the link at the end of the publication. During installation the software connects to a TrendMicro server, and starts with a compatibility check of your system. You will be asked to provide a address email during the last step of the installation. This step is mandatory, but it does not seem necessary to verify this address.
Immediately after Ransom Buster loads a configuration wizard, you can use it to select Windows folders that you want to protect the application.
Let's say that program protects all files located in the Documents folder by defaultchoice, and that with one click on Folder Manager you can add more folders.
