So, what does ransomware do?
I bought BD last month and today tried the Ransomware module. I added a directory and rebooted. Nothing has changed; shouldn't it be doing something? Isn't it supposed to alert me when I try to delete a file from the protected directory? It doesn't. What does do? How can I test it?

Hello,
The ransomware module prevents changes to the protected files from unsigned/unknown applications.
Should you ever get infected with a 0 day ransomware the module will prevent it from encrypting your files.0 -
Is there anyway to tell it is working? I expected something to change when I protected directories. but nothing seems to happen.0 -
Hello,
Have a unsigned application attempt to edit those files, access will be restricted.
Sadly one doesn't come to mind as most consumer applications have been signed.
