Avira Free Antivirus with anti-ransomware
Ransomware. What is it and how do you get it?
Imagine paying a ransom to access your own system.
Here’s why reliable anti-ransomware is essential
If you are infected, all is not lost… actually, it is. Data can’t be recovered, unless you want to give in to hacker demands (and can afford to). In most cases buying new hardware is the only option or formatting or erasing the hard drive and starting over. It’s therefore essential to protect your data and hardware with a reputable anti-virus that offers powerful, fast-evolving anti-ransomware.
For comprehensive protection:
1. Install anti-virus/anti-malware software.
2. Be diligent about keeping that software updated
