RansomSaver is an Outlook add-on that detects and protects against emails that contain ransomware.
Email is one of the main carriers of ransomware και ενώ υπάρχουν και άλλοι τρόποι διανομής, τα emails εξακολουθούν να είναι η προτιμότερη επιλογή, καθώς οι επιτιθέμενοι μπορούν να στείλουν σε εκατομμύρια χρήστες σε πολύ σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα.
RansomSaver is an add-in for Microsoft Outlook, compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Outlook, from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2016 and Outlook of Office 365. It can run on all systems of Microsoft that are newer than the Windows XP.
The application installs as an Outlook add-on and automatically integrates with Outlook. It seems to work perfectly and with several choices.
The main function of the program is scanning for ransomware. It checks the emails you choose for ransomware attachments and can delete the entire message or the attachment only.
The add-in moves emails to a special folder called RansomSaver that creates as a sub-folder of your deleted ones.

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.
RansomSaver can be very useful for inexperienced users because experienced people can protect their systems from malicious attachments.
