23. RANSOMWARE PROTECTION

Ransomware is a malicious software that attacks vulnerable systems by
locking them, and asks for money to let the user take back the control of his
system. This malicious software acts intelligent by displaying false messages
to panic the user, urging him to proceed with the asked payment.
The infection can be spread via spam e-mails, by downloading attachments,
or by visiting infected websites and installing malicious applications without
letting the user know what is happening on his system.
Ransomware can have one of the following behaviors preventing the user
from accessing his system:
Encrypts sensitive and personal files without giving the possibility of
decryption until a ransom is paid by the victim.
Locks the computer’s screen and displays a message asking for money.
In this case, no file is encrypted, only the user is forced to proceed with
the payment.
Blocks applications from running.
Using the latest technology, Bitdefender Ransomware Protection ensures
system integrity by protecting critical system areas against damages without
impacting the system. However, you may also want to protect your personal
files such as documents, photos, movies, or the files you keep stored in the
cloud.
