The add-on's developer doesn't say how its app can determine whether an attachment is malicious or not, but it does provide a list that describes the extensions that RansomSaver considers suspicious.
With the application, you can enable or disable removing attachments or entire messages, turn off scanning until the next start of Outlook, and disable scanning of the Outlook deleted folder.
