You might be perplexed if your antivirus software says that it has stopped a malware attack. Why would someone make dangerous software like this? The answer is straightforward: money. Trojans that steal your data send it back to their owners, who sell it on the Dark Web. Banking malware intercepts and diverts funds between you and your online bank. However, ransomware, well, ransomware goes for the kill. It encrypts your important files, making them unusable, and then demands payment if you want them back. Sure, your antivirus program should protect you from these and other malicious attacks, but if it doesn’t, the ransomware team takes the victory.
It’s not ideal to have a virus or Trojan infect your computer, cause havoc for a few days, and then be removed by an antivirus update, but it’s not impossible. But it’s a different situation when ransomware is involved. Because your files are already encrypted, catching the criminal is pointless, and it may even jeopardize your capacity to pay the ransom if you choose to do so. (It’s a good idea not to pay the ransom!) Some security systems feature ransomware-specific protection layers, and you can also add ransomware-specific protection to your existing security as a supplement. Ransom Buster defends your PC against all types of ransomware and adds an extra layer of security to secure your vital data and memories.
