Although it has died down a bit lately, ransomware is still a real threat, which should be taken seriously. Common sense and a good antivirus should be a good defense, but if you really want to make sure you won't get attacked, you could bolster your protection with Ransomware Defender. It provides an extra layer of security, specifically designed to detect and block any incoming ransomware attacks.

The software is compatible with all modern Windows platforms, but it works on older ones as well, like Windows XP, which had some troubles during the latest major ransomware fiasco. It doesn't have any special requirements and you can have it up and running in no time. What's more, it won't interfere with any other antivirus programs you may have installed on your computer.

Ransomware Defender's has a modern and efficient design. It presents an overview of your computer's security, as well as options for enabling and disabling the active protection feature, starting a scan and updating the database. When it comes to scanning your computer, you can opt for a full or a quick scan. Additionally, you can also set up a custom scan, if you want to look for ransomware in a particular folder.

Besides its scanning and protection tools, Ransomware Defender provides a few maintenance utilities as well. Its history cleaner can remove temporary files and various caches, to free up valuable disk space, and its startup manager can help you disable the auto-start feature from your programs, to speed up the system's startup. Additionally, you can enable an "Erase Files" option in Windows Explorer's context menu, if you wish to shred files and make them impossible to recover.

Ransomware Defender runs smoothly on any modern-day computer. You will barely notice it while it's running in the background. Furthermore, the software gives you full control to add specific files to a quarantine or to a white list, to avoid false positives. You can also schedule automatic scans, if you want to do routine checkups.

With Ransomware Defender running on your computer, your data will be safe against all the latest ransomware threats out there.

Pros

The software comes with several scanning modes and real-time protection capabilities. It also provides a few useful maintenance tools. Ransomware Defender runs quietly in the background, without any significant impact on your computer's performance.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to address.
