Ransom Buster

The baits hackers throw on the Internet should be taken as seriously as possible, and anyone should follow safety precautions against the dangers their actions pose.

Ransomware is one such instance that could plague your PC and render all your data inaccessible unless you are willing to pay a fee, and the truth is, decryption tools are only partially effective. Sadly, more often than not, there is nothing to be done in order to recover your files and folders.

Fortunately, there are software utilities such as Ransom Buster, which promise to prevent this kind of worst-case scenarios by offering the protection you need in order to minimize the risk of getting infected with malware.

Installing the program on your system should be an effortless task that should only take a couple of seconds, at the end of which you are faced with a neat user interface that favors ease of navigation.

You are asked to select the directories you want to protect, which are then listed in the main window. Needless to say, you can manage your folders at any time, and exploring their contents is something you can do with a mouse click.

Once this task is complete, what the application starts doing is block access to your folders to any unauthorized software that might try to damage them. Nevertheless, there are situations where you need to allow certain applications to reach your directories. The program can handle this as well since it lets you create an exception list for programs you trust.

Aside from that, it is worth pointing out that taking a look at a log should offer an overview of all recorded actions the program has protected you against.

As you can see, Ransom Buster proposes a transparent approach to ransomware protection, requires minimal configuration, and has a low memory footprint. The anti-ransom tool prevents shady programs from accessing your data but allows reputable ones to interact with your folders, which translates into a lack of false alarms and overall efficiency.
