I've installed ransomfree https://ransomfree.cybereason.com/

Good tool, and free, to avoid ransomware.

Check if that detects when you run ransim https://www.knowbe4.com/ransomware-simulator

Ransomfree create a few folders in the system with many dummy files inside (.doc .jpg .xlsx..)

In case one of these files change, Ramonfree block the computer and ask you if you allow these changes.

Ransim just check his installation folder so Rasomfree cannot detect it.

Haven't looked at that.

The best way to prevent ransomware is to keep your systems up to date.

Next is to have decent AV and use good file permissions practices.

Above that is LANless design. Ransonware primarily preys on LAN-based Windows network design for its ability to spread.

Actually, typical ransomware doesn't spread. It simply encrypts everything it can write too. Most of them are not worms.

Just wannacry 🙂

lol, of course, making it one of, if not, the worst ones.
