Ransomware prevention

The first step in ransomware prevention is to invest in awesome cybersecurity—a program with real-time protection that’s designed to thwart advanced malware attacks such as ransomware. You should also look out for for features that will both shield vulnerable programs from threats (an anti-exploit technology) as well as block ransomware from holding files hostage. Customers who were using Malwarebytes 3 Premium, for example, were protected from the WanaCrypt0r attack.

Next, as much as it may pain you, you need to create secure backups of your data on a regular basis. You can purchase USBs or an external hard drive where you can save new or updated files—just be sure to physically disconnect the devices from your computer after backing up, otherwise they can become infected with ransomware, too. Cloud storage is another option, but we recommend using a server with high-level encryption and multiple-factor authentication.

Then, be sure your systems and software are updated. The most recent ransomware outbreak took advantage of a vulnerability in Microsoft software. While the company had released a patch for the security loophole back in March, many folks didn’t install the update—which left them open to attack. We get that it’s hard to stay on top of an ever-growing list of updates from an ever-growing list of software and applications used in your daily life. That’s why we recommend changing your settings to enable automatic updating.

Finally, stay informed. One of the most common ways that computers are infected with ransomware is through social engineering. Educate yourself on how to detect phishing campaigns, suspicious websites, and other scams. And above all else, exercise common sense. If it seems suspect, it probably is.

I have been getting a lot of calls asking about someone calling from Microsoft/Windows saying you have a virus and to let them fix it remotely. First off Microsoft WILL NOT contact you for any reason about anything. Second never allow anyone to access your computer remotely unless you contact them first such as Dell/HP tech support. If you have received this call and let them have access you now have a virus that allows them to take control of your system and allow access to all your files and personal information. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/10/i-am-calling-you-from-windows-a-tech-support-scammer-dials-ars-technica/

Cold caller from "Windows Technical Support" asks for remote access to my PC.
