It may sound like something that will never happen to you, but when ransomware hits, it hits hard and it will make you regret not being prepared. It doesn't take much to protect your system from ransomware and Ranstop is all the proof you need. This piece of software can detect early signs of ransomware and react immediately to protect your data. Even if a ransomware program manages to slip through, the software will still be able to help you recover your data.

Ranstop comes in free and paid editions, for all popular Windows systems. Downloading and installing the software shouldn't take long, even on slower machines, but you will have to reboot your computer once the installation is complete. There is no need to install any special tools or services and you don't have to sacrifice too many resources.

Installing and running Ranstop on your computer is all you have to do. Its protection feature is turned on by default, so you can just let the software work quietly in the background. It relies on behavior analysis, which makes it capable of detecting not only all the known forms of ransomware, but undocumented ones as well.

The moment a ransomware program starts to encrypt files on your system, the software will block it immediately. Additionally, you can set it to automatically cut your Internet connection or to shut down your machine, if it detects such behavior. Ranstop can also send email notifications, if an attack takes place while you are not in front of your computer.

If a ransomware threat manages to slip under the radar, Ranstop's backup and restore functionality will prove its worth. If your files end up encrypted, you will be able to restore them to their previous version without any effort. What's more, the software keeps four different versions of each file, to make sure that you can restore them to a usable state.

Ranstop requires only a minute of your time, to spare you from weeks of headaches.

Pros

The software can protect your files against numerous forms of ransomware, including undocumented ones. It can back up your files and it lets you restore them to a previous state.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to address.
