Bitdender met à disposition un outil gratuit de protection contre les Ransomwares 

Hackers have been hitting everything from hospitals to police stations with Ransomeware viruses. Bitdefender has released a tool that could help fight it:

“Bitdefender anti-malware researchers have released a new vaccine tool which can protect against known and possible future versions of the CTB-Locker, Locky and TeslaCrypt crypto ransomware families.

“The new tool is an outgrowth of the Cryptowall vaccine program, in a way.” Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi explained. “We had been looking at ways to prevent this ransomware from encrypting files even on computers that were not protected by Bitdefender antivirus and we realized we could extend the idea.”

But it is pretty much an install and forget about it type app, no fuss, no muss.
