So, what does ransomware do?

Toller

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.
